Mystic Path

Limiting Skill: Meditation (p. B207)

Mysticism is the study of the affect magical forces have on the natural world. Of all the Paths, Mysticism is the most versatile. Mystics can observe and interact with magic from Emanations and other paths. This includes imbuing crystals and rocks with some small amount of mana to create an effect, interaction with and control of natural (non-human) spirits and utilizing their understanding of how magic interacts with their bodies to achieve certain alignments of mind, body and spirit. They can also interpret dreams and consider dreaming to be an interaction between the soul and a distinct realm of Dreams, where Chaos is given form, however fleeting. It is said that some Practitioners can even attune themselves so as to separate their body from their soul and travel in the spirit world and, perhaps, even to planes even more remote in the search for wisdom or knowledge.

Practitioners of Mystism are known as Mystics or Shamans, depending on the nature of their study and cultural background. Mysticism draws on the Emanations of Hermetic Magic and Nature Magic.
