Subject: Cumulative report for 1991-2000
Specification: Research and Apprenticeship

   The past ten years have yielded much information towards the new Discipline.  Note that it can no longer be designated as a Thaumaturgical Path.  This is evident in that it has many effects on the body that Thaumaturgy does not manifest, it does not require the expenditure of blood to fuel or operate, and, though this is hardly conclusive, apprentices with no previous knowledge of Thaumaturgy seem to be able to learn it as if it were a seperate Discipline.
   My research team and I began this research hoping to find an amalgamation between the Path of Flames, Elven Star magick, and Obtenebration.  As our research progressed, we found that the Path of Flames was incompatible with Obtenebration, but it was found that the Discipline known as "Glimmer," also known as the Light Discipline, was, ironically, perfectly compatible.  Therefore, it replaced the Path of Flames in our research.  Written theory was the bulk of the initial research accompanied by minute experimentation of theorums.  the final results of our research are detailed in the final attachment with this report.
