Oracles wield nontheistic powers derived from an enigmatic source. These phenomena, aptly referred to as “Mysteries,” often reveal themselves when triggered by a transformative event, an emotionally intense situation, or some other extraordinary experience.

Oracles do not usually associate with any one church or temple, instead preferring to strike out on their own, or with a small group of like-minded individuals. Oracles typically use their spells and revelations to further their understanding of their mystery, be it through fighting mighty battles or tending to the poor and sick.
