Reading the hidden signs of cults and secret societies lets you talk your way into their circles and instantly recognize a fellow member of your own.
Esoteric study of psychic phenomena and forgotten mysteries lets a character make sense of the paranormal and spot occult magic in play.

You've lived among kami, gaining a wellspring of spiritual power found deep within the Forest of Spirits. You've heard many rumors of what lies beyond the safety of your home and, for better or worse, they intrigue you. Whatever your reasons for leaving, you're still bound to whatever entity serves as your ward. Whether you return to the place of your birth or find a new land to call home is up to you.

Choose two attribute boosts. One must be to Intelligence or Wisdom, and one is a free attribute boost.

You're trained in Occultism and Spirit Lore. You also gain a ward that binds you to a specific animal, plant, object, or location of your choice. Once per day, you can spend an Interact action to merge with your ward and heal Hit Points equal to your level. This action has the healing trait.
