Mystics

Source Gamemastery Guide pg. 228
Those initiated into the hidden truths and forbidden secrets of the world are forever transformed—or so they claim. To the cynical, a mystic is nothing more than a charlatan or zealot. Others profess to sense an aura around such luminaries and treat them with reverence, lest they offend some harbinger of unspeakable doom.

Dark Rituals

Most rituals have a simple gp cost and skills. But what if a desperate NPC is willing to offer something darker, 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.

Forms Of Fortune-Telling

Anthomancy: Flowers.
Astrology: The cosmic caravan.
Demonomancy: Asking demons.

Mystic Cadres

Golarion has several mystic groups. The Church of Razmir offers a plan of 31 steps to divinity. The Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye seeks celestial truths said to be granted by an ancient angel. Knights of the Aeon Star search for secret lore. Followers of Rivethun, dwarven animism, reach out to spirits to gain knowledge and earn favors.

Mystic Rituals

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