Secrets of Magic (livestream)

Secrets of Magic was a Pathfinder Second Edition live-play campaign from Paizo Inc. The ten-episode series debuted on Paizo's Twitch channel on July 14, 2021, and ran every Wednesday at 6 p.m. Pacific Time until September 15, 2021. It was meant to demonstrate new rules options and thematic elements from the Secrets of Magic sourcebook, which was released near the end of the series' run. While the campaign is not considered canon, it is "canon adjacent", with efforts made to ensure nothing in the campaign contradicts Paizo's published material.

“

Four esteemed graduates from the College of Mysteries in Absalom are sent to a tiny desert village in eastern Thuvia along the banks of the Junira River. Rumor has it that everyone in this small community has suddenly developed magical abilities. Power that, if left unchecked, might spell their doom. Perhaps even more troubling, even those who just visit the town receive powers as well! Can these four spell-slinging scholars work together to get to the bottom of this mystery before rogue magic tears the place apart?
