Binder Secrets

Occultists spend their lives dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, which includes knowledge of spirits, the spirit realm, and the innermost workings of reality and existence. An occultist’s greatest power is not within the seals he draws or the spirits she binds, but in the innumerable secrets amassed in pursuit of knowledge. An occultist may choose to learn a binder secret in place of a regular feat or occultist bonus feat.

Characters without levels in the occultist class cannot learn binder secrets.
