Mathemagic
From Dungeons of Dredmor Wiki
"Using the power of Mathemagic, you can multiply power, subtract hope, and cube-root the dreams of man himself. This is a strange, abstract school of magic that has a way of driving its users insane."
Mathemagic starts the player with a 
Coat of Tweed (See: Starting Equipment).

| Froda's Jump Discontinuity | Froda's Jump Discontinuity | This prototype teleportation spell was developed by Froda as part of a wizarding thesis project, 'A Study of Extra-Planar Momentum in the 200 GeV Thaumaturgen Collision Range'.

| 3 | 
| Curse of the Golden Ratio | Curse of the Golden Ratio | The curse of the Golden ratio was first used by the great Mathemagician Xeuclid to convert the flesh of his enemies into useful, useful gold. You just have to keep poking to be sure it takes. Operates as describes - a rather profitable curse. | |
| 4 | 
| Zenzizenzizenzic | Zenzizenzizenzic | The enhancement of one's own magical power is simply a function of correctly applying magical power. This is a stackable effect, naturally. | |

[edit] Trivia
- The skilltree itself is a reference to Jack Vance's Dying Earth novels where the sole remaining archmage discovered this field of magic.
- The description of the spell Xeuclid's Translation may be a reference to the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Realm of Fear". In this episode, Lt. Reginald Barclay is attacked by worm-like creatures while using the transporter.
