#Mystical School Expansion (神秘流派) — Section Index

Contents

#Identity

Of the 6 core mystical skills, 3 skills (Sorcery, Exorcism, Medicine) have schools, while 3 skills (Barrier, Prophecy, Poisoncraft) have none. This expansion greatly expands the former and newly establishes the latter. It also provides a school format that links with the 35-Sorcery spell system module.

#Design Goals

Sorcery: add 5~7 kinds beyond the 2 core schools (folk sorcery, Nanban black magic, Joseon Daoism, Chinese Daoist priest, Tibetan esotericism, Ethiopian demon summoning)
Exorcism: add 5~7 kinds beyond the 2 core schools (Catholic exorcism, Orthodox exorcism, Chinese Daoist ghost-banishing, Joseon shamanism, Brahmin warding)
Medicine: add 5~7 kinds beyond the 1 core school (Nanban medicine, Joseon medicine, Ming-era materia medica, Arab medicine, monastery medicine)
Barrier (new): 3~5 kinds. Japanese-style, Daoist Five-Phase, Korean feng shui, European rune, Jewish Kabbalah
Prophecy (new): 3~5 kinds. yin-yang divination, I Ching, Greek oracle, tarot, revelation
Poisoncraft (new): 3~5 kinds. Iga poisoncraft, ancient Persian, Amazon poison, Arab
Total ~30 kinds of mystical schools.
When the 35-spell-system module is introduced, the Sorcery, Exorcism, Barrier, and Prophecy schools also function as spell-access lineages.
