Koldunism: Swaying the spirits, this power calls on the very world itself to act. Held by the elders of the Fiends, if any show promise beyond the basics will have an eye of these sorts. Outside of the old country it will be very rare to find any that have gotten beyond one of their "Ways"
Abyssal Mysticism: The Secrets of Nothing and Everything, the Lasombra have many claims as to what their source is, but there is great worry as to what it might be. It is said a council is held to judge each new practitioner's worth.
Hermetic Thaumaturgy: Perhaps the most common in its own way, there are few powerful practioners or good places of study for this. The Tremere seem to find any great repository or the like, and then they destroy it. It is not uncommon to find someone with a Ritual or two from this art, though trading for that knowledge is very expensive.
Akhu: This is Heresy in all ways, it calls on and sends power to an Antideluvian. Few take the time to even have an idea what powers this magic can call on, because of its corrupting influence....
Dur-an-Ki: (This Point of view includes Sorcery of the Assamites) The Spirit magic's of Africa and the Middle East is of question to the Inquisition and beyond. Contracts with spirits are said to be made, contracts for power.
Necromancy: Not common, though a spattering of it exists in a similar way to Thaumaturgy, with the Harbingers loose affiliation being its only direct connection
Wanga, Voudoun, Sihr: (Included with this point of view is some level are Dur-an-Ki and Ahku. ) These magic's have a faith component, their followers often see them as a religion. The Sabbat has a faith, this is a conflict. Limit ones trust.
