Occultism

Occultism is the gateway skill for probing Starfall Galaxy’s greatest mysteries, enabling player characters to recall eldritch knowledge, decipher obscure magic, and master rituals rooted in cosmic distortion. This skill anchors narrative investigation, facilitates access to magical and esoteric resources, and interacts directly with key factions like the Chronologists Guild. Whether parsing a haunted anomaly in the Outer Sphere or negotiating ritual clearance in a guild enclave, Occultism rolls shape campaign play and story outcomes.
