The basic magic Secret is Touched - it gives the character the Abilities Magic Sense (I) and Channeling (R) at Mediocre; it means the character is open to the Warp, and may sense and manipulate it's energies. The Secret of Petty Magic varies by type - Arcane, Divine, Hedge - but each essentially grants access to the spell effects listed on p146 of WFRP book, and requires the expenditure of 1 Pool (Reason for Arcane, Vigor for Divine, Instinct For Hedge). Petty Magic is a prereq of the Secret of Lesser Magic; a different Secret of Lesser Magic is needed for each Lesser Magic spell, each use of which costs 2 Pool (of the same type as the Petty Magic prereq). Petty Magic of the appropriate sort is also a prereq of the various Arcane and Divine Lore Secrets, all of which are mutually exclusive. A given Secret of A/D Lore provides access to that spell list; each spell casting costs 2 Pool of Reason (Arcane) or Vigor (Divine). Divine Lore also has a prereq Key of the Initiate, whereas Arcane Lore requires that the character has been taught it by someone that already knows it. Both Dark Lores (Chaos and Necromancy) have Touched and the Key of Fallen as prereqs; Necromancy spells use Reason Pool to cast, and cost 1 Reason per 10 “casting number” or part thereof; characters with Chaos choose which Pool those spells use when the Secret is first gained, and spells cost as Necromancy. Since the Key of Fallen precludes the Key of Temptation, Corruption rolls of -3 result in Mutation. Each ritual is a separate Secret, with it's own prereqs and rules.
Casting spells always requires a Channeling Roll and a Corruption/Hubris roll; the former is a normal Ability roll, but the latter is not - there is no Ability to be added to the check, per se. The Corruption/Hubris check does not take any time or effort on the character's part; it is a mechanic to represent the fickle and dangerous nature of magic. Divine spells require the Hubris check; all others call for a Corruption check. A Hubris/Corruption check is like a normal check, but without an Ability and with a number of explicit bonus/penalty dice, and ranging from +3 to -3 in result - if the roll fails, the character takes Harm of the spell Pool type equal to the level of failure +1, and if the total is -3, something else bad happens.
Corruption modifiers +1 per penalty die taken on the Channeling casting check for this purpose +1 for Petty Magic -1 for spells cast using Instinct Pool -2 for spells cast using Dark Lore -1 per Dhar Hubris modifiers +1 per penalty die taken on the Channeling casting check for this purpose +1 for Petty Magic +1 for a use greatly furthering the god's cause -1 for a use not particularly furthering the god's cause -3 for a use against the god's cause or under Key of Atonement
The first Corruption roll of -3 means the character must take the Key of Temptation; subsequent like results force the character to take a Mutation. A Hubris roll of -3 means the character must take a Key of Atonement; if the character is already under one, the appeasement of the god just gets harder.
Channeling has a couple explicit bonus/penalty die conditions, also:
+1 per point of Dhar channeled for bonus (not including Pool cost substitutions) -1 if expending Instinct to cast spells and bearing substantial amounts of unaligned metal -2 is expending Reason to cast spells and bearing substantial amounts of unaligned metal -1 per bonus die desired on the resultant Corruption/Hubris check
Touched, Petty Magic (various), Lesser Magic (various), Arcane Lore (various), Divine Lore (various), Dark Lore (various) - all self-explanatory.
A Mutation (various) is a Secret; the character has a mutation that functions much like the Equipment Secret, save that it does not cost any Pool but neither can it be gotten rid of and is a mark of evil; each Mutation after the first gives a penalty die to hide your mutant nature from anyone looking for it
Witchcraft has Petty Magic (Hedge) as it's prereq; it allows the character to take spells from the Arcane and Dark Lore lists as if they were Lesser Magic, though the spells must be learned somehow.
Chaos Sorcerer has Dark Lore (Chaos) as a prereq; the character takes no Harm from Corruption rolls.
Literate means the character can read and write, gains access to the Research and History Abilities, and may spend Reason Pool to have access to pertinent fact or bit of lore (1 for known things, 2 for unknown things, 3 for secret things)
Bodyguard allows the character to use React to make themself the target of a physical attack instead of someone else nearby.
Background (Estalian Diestro); prereq Training (Swordplay), means the character is from Estalia, of course, having familiarity with that language and culture as well as the Imperial; Estalian Diestros have Synergy (Swordplay, Science) and, when using Synergy, Retraining (Swordplay, Reason), as well as access to advanced Secrets for Swordplay
Triangle Trap; prereq Diestro, acts as Shattering (Swordplay) but may affect any number of Effects with one Pool expenditure
Squaring the Circle; prereq Diestro, acts as Skirmish (Swordplay) and Specialization (Swordplay, multiple opponents)
Five Blades of the Pentacle; prereq Diestro, acts as Surprise but only for Swordplay - if the Surprise is successful, then the character may increase the Harm as per Mighty Blow
Six-faced Seal of Figueroa; prereq Diestro, may spend 2 Vigor to use Swordplay to defend against magic, or 3 to substitute Swordplay for any passive defense Ability against magic
Superiority of the Noble Blade; prereq Diestro, while using Swordplay against an opponent without some kind of sword, gain a bonus die
Background (Kislevite Kossar) means the character is one of the Kossars, familiar with the Kislevite language and culture and has access to Great Axe & Bow (a combination of Infantry and Marksman), as well as a bonus die to defensive Abilities against Chaos.
Kossar Tactics; prereq Background (Kislevite Kossar), the character's Tactics check result is counted separately in a support capacity (thus an Ability check supported by Tactics may get bonus support dice from more than one source)
Kurgan Heart; prereq Background (Kislevite Kossar), the character may spend any amount of Pool for bonus dice to resist emotion or Chaos.
Background (Noble); prereq Key of Nobility and recognition as a noble, the character gains a bonus die in conflict with anyone of lower status
Background (Norse Berserker) means the character is from the far Norsca raiders, familiar with that language and culture as well as the Imperial, has access to the Berserker Ability, and as long as they are using the Berserker Ability to berserkly kill the shit out of things, can continue to act past Broken Harm if they have the Pool to pay for actions as though they were just Broken.
Most of the skills and talents from WFRP could be used as-is, more or less, many of them as primarily support Abilities. I chose not to but might go back over this later and approach it that way.
