Traditions of patron, inspiration = yes
increase anima, occult reservoir
An Offering takes a material object or Essence directly, and sends its inherent anima energy to a target through some Ceremony or Ritual. An offering returns that which is offered up back to the Aether. The object(s) are sacrificed permanently. They cannot be brought back, they are gone forever. The character tied to the offering has their Essence situated in The Pattern ever so slightly more as the Elan of the offered object is loosely reattached. It is as if their own Essence casts a shadow in the Weave where the offered material once was. The target of the Offering is typically some patron or principal which is tied to the offerer.

This tradition is a seeking inward, a drawing upon the primal Sparks using anima energy for power.

There are multiple ways that characters can learn Mystic Traditions powers. Depending on the society/setting the assumption of institutional Mystical Traditions may also be accompanied by a Prestige Marker in acknowledgement. Every mystic tradition has Mystic Essentials capabilities that underpin many other mystical powers.
Tradition of Tutelage: All Mystic Traditions are structured learning paths that follow known norms. It is assumed that character exponents embrace an existing refined tradition leveraging them. Even where knowledge and capability are developed without formal tutelage, they use the same processes but are just less efficient in that they must be envisioned and built from scratch.
