+#####R=== Thaumaturgists ===
+
+#####GDescription
+A Thaumaturgist is a Mage that prefers chaos to order. As such, they tend to
+learn random spells, and since attacking something creates more chaos than
+anything else, every spell they learn is an attack spell. They have no need
+for spell-books, as they harness the spells from within themselves. However,
+they also have no ability to improve the power of a particular spell - once
+learnt it will remain at the same strength for ever. Likewise, they also have
+no ability to control what they learn, and some of their spells will cause
+them damage (like darkness spells blinding them if they do not resist
+darkness).

+#####GThaumaturgy
+Thaumaturgists can wreak an amazing amount of destruction, and they don't
+even need spellbooks to do it. As they gain skill they memorise new,
+randomly generated attack spells. Note that they possess no guaranteed
+utility or alteration magics, and can never alter themselves.
+[[[[[BThaumaturgists just kill.]
+
+They use their magics through the 'm' key. They then select a general
+group of spells, followed by a specific spell. Thaumaturgists can learn
+more about a specific spell by browsing it; this is very useful for
+choosing the perfect spell for the occasion.
+
+Thaumaturgy spells can take the form of a bolt, a beam, a ball (either
+centred on the caster or targetable), an area (multiple balls in the
+vicinity of the caster), or a spell that affects all monsters in line of sight.
