	Each Pillar of the Order of Hermes is a ''Forma''. Each Forma embodies a fundamental aspect of Creation, a pillar that shores up the world itself. These four ancient Forma are: ''Anima'' (the "Breath of Life" that flows through every living being), ''Corona'' (the "Crown" which grants control over the working of the mind), ''Primus'' ( the raw power of magic itself) and ''Vires'' ("Forces", mastery over the energies of the Universe). Although the four ''Formas'' encompass a great many potential powers, in no case can current Hermetic theory violate certain precepts set forth by the Church (precepts which Bonisagus himself subscribed to and set forth in the founding doctrine of the Order): The resurrection of the dead, the creation of true life and travel beyond the Lunar Sphere. Further, though many scholars of the Order have truck with various spiritual entities, both benign and malefic, their control of those beings hinges mostly upon mastery of the energies that sustain those beings, rather than power over ephemeral matter (spirit).
