Pathfinder First Edition content This article covers a term or subject that is relevant to the Pathfinder campaign setting only in the context of the first edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

This article covers the Pathfinder First Edition psychic magic class. For philosophers of hidden realities, see occultism. For the similar Second Edition class, see thaumaturge.

Occultists use mental powers and focus-like implements to peer into the resonant energies in their surroundings. They are also skilled with the creation of magic circles, including binding circles.

Extremely powerful occultists who take on the mythic path of the archmage are designated thaumaturges.

Regions

While occultists can be found across Golarion, they gravitate toward sites of magical relics and ruins. This includes Osirion, Thassilonian ruins in Varisia, the Pit of Gormuz, and sites of ancient Ghol-Gan and Koloran.

Reliquarians

Some occultists, known as reliquarians, venerate the relics of a specific deity and gain divine powers instead of psychic magic.

Religions

Learning the way of the occultist does not require any religious restrictions. However, reliquarians must worship a deity and cannot deviate from its alignment by more than one step.
