The Spiritualism tradition finds its roots in the First People, who called forth the spirits of animals and of their ancestors to acquire their wisdom and their power.

Although others, including mediums, seers, and necromancers, make use of this tradition, it remains most often found among the devotees of the Horned King and the shamans of the Woad tribes.

Treating with the Underworld comes with a price. Students of the tradition find themselves beset by spectral voices, half-glimpsed faces and bodies, and other manifestations or suggestions of spiritual activity. Often, these minor spirits follow the caster with interest and sometimes make themselves known through faint knockings in the walls, temperature changes, and foul odors. Such events might convey a spirit’s displeasure, a warning, or a need to communicate.
