Starting off, I'd just like to say this game has been revitalizing my interest in the war-gaming hobby. Looking forward to what the Second and Third ages have in store! Onto the Question.
So, here in the situation, I have a Fey-Hybrid Humanoid which has taken the Trait "Fire Powers" from the Fire Sphere of Influence to gain a first tier Power, in this case Flame Fists. Now the rules seem pretty clear cut that I draw my difficulty from my domain, but since I have no humanoid casting traits (like Wizard, Sorcerer, or Priest) do I just gain the ability to cast the power as a humanoid (Difficulty 8, Mortal Threshold 12) without the ability to channel?
Or is it that since my class is gaining it's powers from it's Fey lineage without the use of any casting trait, do they cast their spells as if they were fey? (Difficulty 6, no threshold and the ability to alter spells).

As an additional question since we are in the area, it states that Fey use their class level to channel, without any listed detriments for failing like in the humanoid section. Does this mean they essentially get a "worry free" Channel, adding their class level to the cast without fear of losing anything?
Thanks in advance!
Perfect, thanks for the quick response. Keep up the good work! I'll likely have more questions, so hopefully it's not too bothersome.😊
First off thank you for the compliments. I love hearing about people are getting into the game. Personally cannot wait to release the 2nd and 3rd Age to everyone.
To answer the question.
If you get powers directly out of the Fey through hybrid you would be having to cast with just your domain difficulty/thresholds which is Humanoid in your case. Wizardry, Sorcery etc grants you much easier methods of casting and channeling. So you would be casting without channeling just straight up. Entirely possible but also dangerous without focus or technomancy (wands). Its an interesting way to build spellcasters.
Only if you are in the Fey Domain can you channel your class level and augment powers like the fey. Of course Fey Sight helps you augment powers for your higher level casters.
