Mystical Culture

Origin feat (Prerequisite: Human)

Some cultures are more drawn to knowledge and the magical arts than others. These cultures usually value scholarly accomplishments and curiosity. People of this culture might follow the teachings of Odin, Balder, or Loki. Perhaps the culture values religious zeal and proselytizes their chosen god with divine fervor?

Pockets of mystical culture can be found all over the Estian Islands, mostly centered around magical facilities, such as an Archive.

Mystical Features

Most knowledge is contained in books, and you have read plenty.

  • Well Read: You learn an additional language of your choice.
  • Exposed to the Weave: You learn one cantrip and one first-level spell of your choice from the Wizard, Cleric, or Druid spell lists. Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma as the spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this feat). The first-level spell is always prepared for you, and once per long rest you can cast it without spending a spell slot.
