Aside from some unique experimental work, Chaos Magic serves best as a method
for extracting useful elements from other magical forms. It's a set of working
criteria for analyzing magical technique and to help in structuring rests.
The emphasis on a magical materialism, though not always convincing, is a
useful destroyer of unneeded mysticisms and religious overlays to magic. It
has also opened up many of the avenues in the general magical community that
Satanism opened ten years previous to Chaos Magic's development, particularly
Freedom of Belief and the dismissal of inessentials in magical practice.
