Spiritsense (detection, occult) The spirit binder can sense the spirits of creatures, including living creatures, most non-mindless undead, and haunts within the listed range. Since spiritsense detects spiritual essence, not physical bodies, it can detect spirits projected by spells (such as project image) or possessing otherwise soulless objects. It can't detect soulless bodies, constructs, or objects, and like most senses, it doesn't penetrate through solid objects.

Haunting Spirits (aura, occult, spirit) 30 feet. The spirits bound by a spirit binder swirl around, lashing out at their foes. An enemy that enters or starts its turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 27 Will save or take 3d6 spirit damage and be frightened 1 (double damage and frightened 2 on a critical failure).

Spirit Scrying The spirit binder's scrying spells can target or detect spirits on other planes as though the spirits were in the Universe.Succumb to the Void [one-action] (concentrate, occult, void) The spirit binder taps into the more nefarious spirits of the Void, becoming something morbid and cruel. For 1d4 rounds, their resistance, aura of spirits, Strikes, and spirit spells change their damage type from spirit damage to void damage and replace their spirit trait with the void trait.

Mystic

Source NPC Core pg. 96
Hidden secrets and occult powers have an irresistible lure for many. Since the majority of these NPCs are spellcasters, consider using alternative spell lists to adjust their themes.

Crossover Ancestry NPCs

Several of the NPCs elsewhere in NPC Core can fit well in this group: Bone mother (level 6), gourd leshy witch (level 6), tripkee fiend keeper (level 7)

Guests Beware

Most intelligent creatures follow basic customs of hospitality, such as not attacking a guest who has dined under their roof. Even the most sinister fey creature is loath to break such customs, though eating meals with the fey is often fraught with its own dangers. Others have fewer scruples and might employ poisons, curses, or potions as seasoning for unwitting dinner guests.

Mystic Protection

Most mystics aren't particularly skilled in combat and might hire or ensorcel bodyguards, such as the bodyguard (level 1), archer sentry (level 2), musketeer (level 3), tournament combatant (level 5), knight (level 7), or hero hunter (level 13).

Mystic Rituals

The following are rituals sometimes cast by mystic groups. Those from Monster Core are available only to appropriate celestials and fiends within the organizations.

angelic messenger (1st rank)
binding circle (6th rank)
call spirit (5th rank)
collective memories (9th rank)
commune (6th rank)
demonic pact (1st rank)
diabolic pact (1st rank)
planar servitor (5th rank)

Sinister Rituals

Most rituals have a simple gp cost and associated skill checks. But what if a desperate NPC is willing to offer something more macabre, such as lives, souls, or worse? Such a nefarious ritual uses a normal ritual as a baseline, but the DCs and proficiency requirements might be reduced or waived entirely, as might any gp cost.
