The cybergnostics are interested in Correspondence as the force which ties everything together, but usually concentrate more on Mind and Spirit. Mind represents information and processing, while Spirit is the power to rise to higher levels of implementation. There are also specialists who study the arts of simulation (Time), uploading (Pattern magick) and chaos (Entropy).
One unusual and dangerous way of influencing reality is the art of invocatorial manipulation. Masters of cybergnosticism merge themselves with spirits or concepts, literally becoming a part of them. In so doing, they hope to influence them in the right direction or perhaps gain some of their power. This practice is of course extremely dangerous, and more than one cybergnostic has disappeared forever into a powerful being. But apparently the Masters still regard the practice as worthwhile, perhaps because they also have the ability to make backup copies of themselves in case something goes seriously wrong.
Some cybergnostics also try to influence the growth of the digital web, to make it grow to higher spiritual planes. To do this, they seek its secret sourcecode, using advanced disassemblers and simulations. There are also rumours that Turing was in fact the founder of cybergnosticism, and that they have found a way to communicate with his spirit which permeates the Net.
