Mystic Traditions

Posted on July 28, 2021 in Mystic

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.
