Mediumship Path

Limiting Skill: Ghost Lore or Expert Skill (Thanatology) (p. B193-4)

Mediumship is the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead. Often, it is used to discover secrets, access wisdom from beyond or, in the case of an unquiet spirit, calm the deceased and help them find their way to Rhadamanthus for judgement.

Practitioners of Mediumship are called Mediums. Mediumship draws on the Emanations of Sorcery and Songweaving. Practitioners view the Path as using the spoken word and strength of emotion to more naturally thin the barrier between this world and the Ethereal plane, through which the spirits of the dead can communicate. Because of its association with Sorcery, Mediumship is generally considered dangerous, at best, to practice, as some dark forces can use the conduit created to enter the mundane world through the medium. Despite this danger, Mediums are rarely prohibited outright, even if they are often ostracized for meddling in matters many consider best left alone.
