School of Thassilonian Rune MagicSource Rival Academies pg. 114This curriculum, taught at a few select academies in New Thassilon, can be learned only by wizards with the
runelord class archetype. You have begun to study one of the seven runes of sin, granting you great power but at the cost of anathematic magic. All runelords gain the below curriculum and school spells. In addition, you must choose one of the seven sins to specialize in. You add your sin’s spells and initial school spells to your curriculum. The addictive nature of sin magic prevents you from using magic in ways aligned with other sins, represented by that sin’s anathema. Casting a sin spell never invokes the anathema of its school of sin.
Unlike other wizards, some of your curriculum spells may be spells that don’t typically appear on the arcane spell list (marked with an asterisk). You still cast these spells as arcane spells, the unifying knowledge of sin bridging the gap between disparate magics.

Indulging in sin is a topic whereplayers might have varying levels of comfort. There are typically manyways to indulge in your character'ssin, with some versions (such as meditating on the sin and allowing itto fill your heart or creating art thatthematically extols it) that can beportrayed less explicitly. As with anyother act in the game, keep to the
Pathfinder Baseline or whatever other guidelines you'vediscussed with your group in advance.
