- Nodes sanitized by the Technocracy count as Gauntlet 2-4 with this sphere, 9 otherwise (+help gauntlet)

- Reference: Syndicate Revised 79
- Focuses on abstract economic forms of Primal Energy, rather than physical
- Access outside the Syndicate is restricted at staff discretion
| Primal Utility | |
|---|---|

Can use Primal Ventures (SR 81), but not regular Nodes
| |
| Create Gadgets, Perfect Material Exploitation, Primal Innovation
Cannot create pure Prime weapons, but can enhance existing weapons
| |
| Create Stable Extraordinary Devices, Living Asset Exploitation, Use Tass and Primal Storage | |
| Create Tass, Exploit Opportunity, Liquidate Assets
Cannot turn Primal Energy directly into Devices, but can turn it into Tass and then use that via Primal Energy 3
| |

Specialty spheres
- Each mage gets a specialty sphere based on their Tradition. (MtA 90: "Some Orphans, especially Hollow Ones, have no specialty sphere." Emphasis added.)
- If you don't have a single choice listed here, then pick one and set a +note.
- If self-service XP spending doesn't recognize your specialty, then use +request. (+xpreq will tell you to use self-service.)
