Mystic Practices & Reservoirs

The knowledge of the Traditions, Methods, and outcomes surround mystical powers. In additional to skills and lores, the Meditation feature allows explorations of a mystical nature. Inscribed materials are typically done in a way to affix their formulaes with the appropriate mystic reservoir.

Mystic Reservoirs

A mystic reservoir (occult reservoir, divine reservoir, psychic reservoir, and kinetic reservoir, etc. – reflecting the aptitudes) is a body of related mystic knowledge which grants the capability to perform certain actions. Reservoirs are, in practice, like an immediate memory for quick reference of arcane knowledge (spell formulae, prayers, etc.) which can be held in limited amounts. Each reservoir has specific characteristics, though almost all are affected by aptitude. Sanity and Meditation may also factor in their content and use. Aptitude Thematics rely on Mystic Reservoirs.
