 SRD - Thaumaturgist
The thaumaturgist's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Knowledge (religion/the planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language (none), and Spellcraft (Int).
This essentially means that he adds the level of thaumaturgist to the level of whatever other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.
If the thaumaturgist’s Diplomacy check adjusts the creature’s attitude to helpful the creature will work for 50% of the standard fee, as long as the task is one that is not against its nature.

The Thaumaturgist does not suffer Rotschreck for the use of his powers (since he made his Courage roll), but if his fire is turned against him (as often happens when using Summon the Fiery Conflagration), he is affected normally.
As the Thaumaturgists claws are not natural parts of the body (unlike the natural Wolf Claws ability) he suffers a one die penalty to all attacks with these claws and a two die penalty for any action involving the hands and dexterity.
This ritual requires the Thaumaturgist to know the name and appearance of the victim, to know approximately where he is (within a kilometer is enough) and preferably to have some piece of the victim (some hair, a trace of blood etc).

 Tadley Rugby Football Club - www.tadleyrfc.co.uk
Thaumaturgist President Sir Robert Searle felt it was the best one he had attended, with it’s mix of outstanding rugby, sunny weather and ½ litre of Vodka + Red Bull for 8 Euros.
The Thaumaturgists didn’t disappoint the watching crowd unveiling a brand of rugby rarely seen before, somehow and it must be stressed against the run of play the Thaumaturgists lost 41-7.
The Thaumaturgists responded with a good try from Tom Bailey but the heat was starting to catch up with the limited numbers left of the Thaumaturgists and Ibiza pulled away late in the game.

 Weird Words: Thaumaturgy
Though it’s not that common a word, it seems to have generated a surprisingly large set of derivatives since it first appeared in English in 1727.
There are several words for a practitioner of thaumaturgy, including thaumaturge and thaumaturgist; another is thaumaturgus, which has been given to a number of Christian saints and others who are said to have performed wonders.
The thaumatrope was a Victorian toy, a card with two different pictures on its back and front that magically combined into one when the card was rapidly spun.

But thaumaturgic seems to have enjoyed a happy life in the hands of Carlyle, who deploys it in Sartor Resartus ("The grand thaumaturgic art of Thought") and in his life of Schiller ("Various thaumaturgic feats").
Other variations on this word include thaumaturgical, thaumaturgist (Carlyle again, from some of his minor writing: "No conjuror...can any longer pass for a true thaumaturgist"), thaumaturgus (which is, simply, a thaumaturge/thaumaturgist), and thaumaturgy.
For that last word, Carlyle again provides an example, again from Sartor Resartus: "A World of Miracles, wherein all fabled or authentic Thaumaturgy, and feats of Magic, were outdone." But thaumaturgy's first usage example places an additional spin on the word: it comes from the 1727 ed.
