"In every shadow cast by Rift-storm decay, and in every cryptic echo of the ancient galaxy, Occultism is the key. Skilled practitioners, known as Occultists, traverse the haunted corridors of derelict stations, commune with spirits across the Netherworld, and subvert the invisible architecture of the Void itself. Their craft is more than mere expertise—it is survival, leverage, and legacy in a cosmos forever warped by eldritch tides."
Occultism enables, complicates, and resolves stories tied to cosmic horror, forbidden knowledge, and esoteric power. A successful Occultism check may gain a party sanctioned access to guild expertise, spellcasting services, or clues critical for advancing a campaign thread.
Typical Narratives: Investigate haunted derelicts, decipher forbidden tomes, exorcise planar anomalies, and debate cosmic philosophy with faction mages.
Exploration Activities: Use Occultism to identify magical traces or anomalies during exploration and downtime, revealing plot hooks, treasures, or hidden dangers.
Faction Missions: Build reputation through occult research, ritual support, anomaly suppression, or sage consultation, unlocking new boons and privileges.
