Good read, nice collation as always. Spoiler for typos when I read through.
[ Spoiler ]
"In First and Second edition, a mundane could learn enchanting and perform this ritual themselves;" in the end of the conjuring section should probably still be referring to conjuring and not enchanting.
"Third edition, characters may find, purchase or mine natural orichalcum which, due to its impurities, must eb refined before it can be used." in the enchanting section, just a little typo
"Indeed, some lucky changelings undergo a minor AWakening, gaining a much wider use for their hard-won skills." even more minor

Nice work AH, as always. Following Herald's form, another typo is listed below.
[ Spoiler ]
"They occupy the niches where magicians are too rare or expensive to be places..."
Contextually, I think that word is meant to be "placed"

Burn-Outs
Former magicians. Through horrible wounds, Mana-sensitive Aura Deficiency Association or
First and Second edition allowed mundanes to learn Conjuring; treating it as the inapplicable theory and knowledge behind the skill rather than any actual ability.
A character with Conjuring Skill can try a simple ritual to improve this ratio, even if the the character cannot use the skill for other purposes.
Characters with no Magic Attribute frequently take Background Skills in Conjuring and Sorcery ... Knowledge Skills follow the standard specializations of the corresponding Active Skills. For example, a character with a Background Skill in Conjuring can specialize in Banishing.
Astral Rifts
A naturally-occurring phenomenon similar to the Astral Gateway power,
Should the user have a spirit or initiate to guide them, they may even travel to the metaplanes.

I'll have to find the reference, but in either 1st or 2nd edition (possibly both) a mundane could use the Conjuring skill to banish a summoned spirit.
