 :* '''[[Moonrise (sage ability)|Moonrise]]''': when the moon is visible in the sky, the character may ascend toward it, rising at a rapid, steady rate so long as the moon remains in sight. While so rising or descending, the character is not subject to harm from falling, and may return to the ground without injury when the ascent ceases or the moon is lost to view. This practice can be used to travel great distances latitudinally across the surface of the earth.

		+	:* '''[[Cosmic Cartography (sage ability)\|Cosmic Cartography]]''': allows the character to perceive and record the hidden architecture of the sky and its influence on the material world, creating a mental map of celestial "currents" and alignments that exist but are invisible to ordinary observers. Using this knowledge, the character can identify routes through the cosmic ether or magical voids that are stable enough for safe passage, without needing to operate the vessel themselves; and recognise temporary intersections of astral forces that make traveling extreme distances along the surface of the world practical; navigate into the ethereal plane of existence.

-:* '''[[Skywatch (sage ability)|Skywatch]]''': allows knowledge of uncommon celestial conditions, enabling the character to prepare and benefit from the conditions once they have arisen. Phenomena predicted include lunar and solar halos, coronas, planetary conjunctions, comets, noctilucent clouds, meteors and auroras. Each have persistent effects, when prepared for, that increases the effective power of magical spells and items, for the period in which they last.
+:* '''[[Celestial Bearings (sage ability)|Celestial Bearings]]''': allows the character to determine the optimal time, orientation, and location for an extra-terrestrial journey from the Earth into the cosmic ether, ensuring the safest and most precise passage between distant points in the universe.
 :* '''[[Equilibrium (sage ability)|Equilibrium]]''': due to celestial alignment, during the hours of night when a full moon is present in the sky, the relation between earth and body is brought into a state of equilibrium, in which the character’s weight, and all that is carried, is reduced to one-third its normal measure; this effectively trebles the load that may be borne with respect to encumbrance, while likewise reducing the character’s own mass accordingly for the duration of the condition.

The character can identify when such events will begin, peak and end, even in unfamiliar regions, provided the sky is visible.

	'''Natural astronomy''' is a [[Sage Study\|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field\|field]] of [[Earth & Sky (sage field)\|Earth & Sky]], concerned with observing and understanding the relationships between the heavens and the world below. Unlike the [[Cleric (class)\|clerical]] sage study of [[Astronomy & Astrology (sage study)\|Astronomy & Astrology]], it does not seek meaning through divine influence or omen, but through the regular movements of celestial bodies and their effects upon the earth. The study includes the reading of the sun, moon, stars and visible planets as they relate to direction, season and the passage of time, together with an awareness of how these patterns correspond to changes in weather, terrain and natural conditions. Mathematics, including algebra, geometry and trigonometry, supports this knowledge, though much of it is derived from sustained observation and familiarity with the natural world.
