Outsiders and divine servants leave especially lasting impressions when they interact with the Material Plane, and many occultists seek out the resulting sacred implements to augment their existing powers. A sacred implement is always a specific kind of object, though not necessarily unique.
An occultist can adopt a sacred implement whenever he gains access to an implement school. Once chosen, the sacred implement is permanent and grants the occultist access to a bonus focus power for that implement school, but causes the occultist to take a –1 penalty to his caster level when using the spells and associated implement powers of a school of magic opposed to that deity’s portfolio. An occultist can use a sacred implement even if he doesn’t worship the associated god.

Grandmother's Ward（超常）／Grandmother's Ward：As a standard action, you can expend 3 points of psychic focus to create a 5-foot-radius ward centered on you for 1 round per occultist level. This ward burns undead creatures, dealing an amount of damage equal to 1d4 + 1d4 per 2 occultist levels you have when the undead enter the ward and each round they begin their turns within this area of effect. The warded area moves with you and can be used only defensively. Any attempt to force the ward against an undead creature immediately ends the effect.

Amber Prison（超常）／Amber Prison：You can expend 3 points of mental focus to entomb a creature within 40 feet in an amberlike prison, rendering it paralyzed and unconscious for 1 minute per occultist level you have. The amber prison has 20 hit points; destroying the prison frees the creature. A successful Reflex save negates this entombment. Whether or not the saving throw is successful, the creature can’t be the target of this focus power again for 1 day.

Footsteps of the Rough Beast（超常）／Footsteps of the Rough Beast：You can expend 1 point of mental focus as a move action to cause the ground in a 5-foot-radius burst centered on you to crumble and rupture, becoming difficult terrain. If you remain stationary, in subsequent rounds you can concentrate on this area as though concentrating on a spell by expending 1 additional mental focus each round. As long as you maintain concentration; the radius of the difficult terrain increases by 5 feet (maximum 30-foot radius) each round. You immediately cease concentrating if you move from your originating location. Difficult terrain created this way remains for 24 hours before returning to its original state.

Psychic Mirage（擬呪）／Psychic Mirage：You can expend 1 point of mental focus to become invisible to a single target within 30 feet, as per invisibility, and remain so for 1 minute per occultist level you have. This invisibility doesn’t affect other creatures. While within 30 feet of the target, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to read the target’s surface thoughts as per detect thoughts.

Wake（超常）／Wake：As a standard action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to inspire fits of grief in a single creature within 30 feet that can see and hear you. You fill the target with haunting visions of the deaths of loved ones and the brevity of life, and for 1 minute, the target’s emotional vulnerability grants you a circumstance bonus equal to your occultist level on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks attempted against the target. If this implement is used in combat, these emotions instead distract your target, leaving it dazzled for 1 round per occultist level you have.

Parity（超常）／Parity：While casting a transmutation spell that provides you an enhancement bonus to a single mental or physical attribute, you can expend 1 point of mental focus as an immediate action to divide the bonus the spell provides, granting half to the original attribute affected by the spell and half to a corresponding attribute. Strength corresponds with Intelligence, Dexterity corresponds with Wisdom, and Constitution corresponds with Charisma. You can also use this ability to divide an ability score bonus granted by a magic item, but you must immediately expend 1 point of mental focus each day when you allocate mental focus to your implements to maintain the parity, or else the bonus immediately reverts to normal.
出典Psychic Anthology
While many occultists focus on the inherent psychic properties of certain types of objects, some specialists take their studies a step further, exploring the ways specific types of implements interact with one another. While not all implements psychically resonate with all other kinds of implements, such panoplies unlock even greater magical potential when used to complement one another.
An occultist can select a panoply anytime he selects a new implement school. To do so, he must already have learned to use the implement school of each implement within the panoply at least once. As with any other implement school, when an occultist learns to use a panoply, he gains access to the resonant power and base focus power, and he becomes able to learn the panoply’s other focus powers. He also adds one spell of each spell level to his spell list, and these spells can be taken from any of the implement schools associated with the panoply. To use a panoply’s resonant power or any of its focus powers, the occultist must select and invest mental focus into the associated implements that day. A single bearer must hold all the panoply’s associated implements to gain the panoply’s resonant power, and the occultist counts the total number of points of mental focus invested among all of the associated implements to determine the resonant power’s effect. The occultist can expend points of mental focus from any of the associated implements to use the panoply’s focus powers. Unlike for other implement schools, an occultist cannot select a panoply more than once.

This panoply is associated with the arcane arts and the masters of manipulating magic.
Implements：Crystal ball (divination), robe (necromancy), and wand (evocation).
Resonant Power：Each time the occultist invests mental focus into all of the associated implements, the panoply grants the following resonant power. The panoply’s bearer gains the benefits of this power until the occultist refreshes his focus.
Scholarly Knowledge（超常）／Scholarly Knowledge：The panoply grants a +1 bonus on all Knowledge checks for every 4 points of total mental focus invested in all of the associated implements, to a maximum bonus equal to half the occultist’s level. Additionally, the bearer is treated as being trained in all Knowledge checks for the purpose of determining whether or not he can succeed at Knowledge checks with a DC higher than 10. If the occultist is at least 5th level, the panoply’s bearer can cast augury as a spell-like ability a total number of times per day equal to the greatest number of points of mental focus stored in any one of the associated implements.
Base Focus Power：All occultists who learn to use this panoply gain the following focus power.
Arcane Inspiration（擬呪）／Arcane Inspiration：By consulting a spellbook for 15 minutes, you can expend 1 or more points of mental focus to prepare a divination, evocation, or necromancy spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list that is contained in that spellbook. You must choose an unused spell slot for the prepared spell to occupy, and the chosen spell must be of a spell level equal to or lower than that spell slot. The number of points of mental focus you must expend is equal to the level of the spell slot used. You can apply metamagic effects to the prepared spell, if desired, and they increase the level of the spell slot the spell occupies as normal. Once the spell is prepared, you can cast it normally, using the prepared spell slot (you cannot use any of your other spell slots to cast it, restricting you to casting it only once per use of this ability). The spell is treated as a psychic spell.
Focus Powers：In addition to the base focus power, occultists who learn to use this panoply can select the following focus powers when choosing powers gained from their focus powers class feature.
Metamagic Knowledge（超常）／Metamagic Knowledge：As a standard action, you can expend 3 points of mental focus and choose a single metamagic feat you qualify for but do not know. You gain that metamagic feat until the next time you refresh your mental focus.
Metamagic Master（超常）／Metamagic Master：As a free action while casting a spell, you can expend 1 or more points of mental focus to apply a metamagic feat you know to that spell without increasing the spell’s casting time or the spell level of the spell slot it occupies. The number of points of mental focus you must expend to use this power is equal to the increase in spell levels the metamagic feat would normally require (minimum 1).
Spell Power（超常）／Spell Power：As a free action while casting a spell, you can expend 2 points of mental focus to increase that spell’s caster level by 2. At 12th and 18th levels, whenever you use this ability, you can spend an additional point of mental focus in order to increase the spell’s caster level by an additional 1.

This panoply is associated with those who deceive as well as those who entertain.
Implements：Mask (illusion) and musical instrument (enchantment).
Resonant Power：Each time the occultist invests mental focus into all of the associated implements, the panoply grants the following resonant power. The panoply’s bearer gains the benefits of this power until the occultist refreshes his focus.
Actor's Skill（超常）／Actor's Skill：The panoply grants a +1 bonus on Bluff, Disguise, and Perform checks for every 3 points of total mental focus invested in all of the associated implements, to a maximum bonus equal to half the occultist’s level. The panoply also grants an equal bonus on saving throws against divination effects.
Base Focus Power：All occultists who learn to use this panoply gain the following focus power.
False Persona（超常）／False Persona：By spending 1 minute in meditation and expending 2 points of mental focus, you can create a psychic mask that obscures your identity. When you create this false persona, you choose the nature of the persona’s alignment and magical auras, and can create a simple background of up to four basic facts about the persona. All divination spells that reveal information about you instead reveal information based on the false persona’s background and aura information. Additionally, attempts to scry or magically locate you work only if the creature making such attempts knows that you and your current false persona are the same individual. Otherwise, the spell has no effect, revealing nothing but darkness, as if you did not exist. This effect lasts up to 24 hours or until you next refresh your mental focus (whichever occurs first), though you can dismiss this false persona at any time before then as a fullround action. This effect fools only magical attempts to discern your identity or background, and has no effect on mundane means of gathering information about you.
Focus Powers：In addition to the base focus power, occultists who learn to use this panoply can select the following focus powers when choosing powers gained from their focus powers class feature.
False Confidence（擬呪）／False Confidence：By taking a standard action and expending 1 point of mental focus, you can instill incredible, boundless confidence in a single living creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher within 60 feet, granting that creature a +2 morale bonus on ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks for 10 minutes. As a move action, you can shatter the feeling of confidence, leaving the target feeling hopeless and distraught. If you do, the target can immediately attempt a Will save to negate the effect, with a cumulative –1 penalty for every 2 minutes the creature benefited from the morale bonus. If the target fails this save, it takes a –2 penalty on ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks for the remainder of the effect’s duration. If the creature then fails an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check by 10 or more while subject to this penalty, the penalty changes to –4.
Hypnotic Gaze（擬呪）／Hypnotic Gaze：By taking a standard action and expending 1 point of mental focus, you can hypnotize a single creature within 60 feet that can see you. The target must succeed at a Will save or become fascinated for as long as you maintain the effect (a move action), plus 1 additional round. Fascinated creatures take a –1 penalty on Will saving throws. For every 3 rounds that you maintain the effect, this penalty increases by 1 to a maximum penalty of –4. Anything that ends the fascination effect also ends the penalty. A creature that succeeds at its saving throw to resist this effect is immune to that occultist’s hypnotic gaze for 24 hours.
Puppet Master（擬呪）／Puppet Master：By taking a standard action and expending 2 points of mental focus, you can implant a hypnotic suggestion in a creature. This functions as per suggestion (using your occultist level as the caster level), except that the saving throw DC is equal to 10 + half your occultist level + your Intelligence modifier, and if the target fails its saving throw, you can choose to have it forget everything that occurs while it is under the spell’s effects, as well as any recollection of you using this ability on it. Memories forgotten in this way can be recovered with restoration or spells or effects that can restore lost memories (such as modify memory).

Implements：Censer (conjuration) and holy symbol (abjuration).
Resonant Power：Each time the occultist invests mental focus into all of the associated implements, the panoply grants the following resonant power. The panoply’s bearer gains the benefits of this power until the occultist refreshes his focus.
Font of Healing (Su): The panoply grants you mastery over healing magic. When you cast a cure spell (a spell with the “cure” in its name), you restore 1 additional hit point for every 3 points of total mental focus invested in all of the associated implements, to a maximum bonus equal to half the occultist’s level. This doesn’t apply to damage dealt to undead with the spell.
Base Focus Power：All occultists who learn to use this panoply gain the following focus power.
Restoring Touch（擬呪）／Restoring Touch：As a standard action, you can expend 2 points of mental focus to cure a living creature you touch of temporary ability damage. You cure 1 point of temporary ability damage to a single ability score for every 3 occultist levels you have. At 10th level, you can expend an additional point of mental focus to instead restore the same amount of permanent ability drain.
Focus Powers：In addition to the base focus power, occultists who learn to use this panoply can select the following focus powers when choosing powers gained from their focus powers class feature.
Guardian Aura（擬呪）／Guardian Aura：As a full-round action, you can expend 3 points of mental focus to emit a 20-foot-radius aura of protection that lasts for 1 minute. You and your allies within the aura gain a sacred bonus to AC equal to 1/4 of your occultist level (minimum +1). Your speed is reduced to 10 feet while this power is active, but you can dismiss it as a free action.
Martyr's Benediction（擬呪）／Martyr's Benediction：As an immediate action when you would be reduced to fewer than 0 hit points or killed (including by effects that kill without dealing damage, such as phantasmal killer and power word kill), you can expend 1 point of mental focus to restore a number of hit points equal to 1d8 + your occultist level all allies (other than you) within 30 feet. In addition, if any healed ally is under a fear effect, she can immediately attempt a new saving throw to end it.
Rebuke Anathema（擬呪）／Rebuke Anathema：As a standard action, you can present the holy symbol used as the panoply’s associated implement and expend 2 points of mental focus to keep a single creature at bay. Your alignment must be within one step of that of the holy symbol’s deity, and the creature’s alignment must be more than one step away from both your alignment and the deity’s alignment. If neither is the case, this power is ineffective and the spent mental focus is wasted. If the target creature fails a Will save, it can’t move toward you for a number of rounds equal to your occultist level.

This panoply is associated with brave and stalwart warriors, martial skill, and the defense of one’s allies.
Implements：Shield (abjuration) and weapon (transmutation).
Resonant Power：Each time the occultist invests mental focus into all of the associated implements, the panoply grants the following resonant power. The panoply’s bearer gains the benefits of this power until the occultist refreshes his focus.
Martial Skill（変則）／Martial Skill：When wielding the weapon used as the panoply’s associated implement, you treat your base attack bonus as though it were 1 point higher for every 4 points of total mental focus invested in all of the associated implements, to a maximum base attack bonus equal to your occultist level. This increase can grant you additional attacks when using the full attack action (for example, a 12th-level occultist with 12 points of mental focus invested among the associated implements would be treated as having a base attack bonus of +11, with iterative attacks at a base attack bonus of +6 and +1).
Base Focus Power：All occultists who learn to use this panoply gain the following focus power.
Combat Trick（変則）／Combat Trick：As a move action, you can expend 3 points of mental focus to gain a single combat feat for which you qualify. This benefit lasts for 1 minute.

Counterstrike（変則）／Counterstrike：As an immediate action when you are damaged by a melee attack, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to immediately make a single attack at your highest base attack bonus against the creature that hit you, provided that you threaten that creature. If the attack hits, you gain a bonus on the damage roll equal to 1/3 your occultist level (rounded down, minimum +1). This attack counts as an attack of opportunity.
Shield Ally（変則）／Shield Ally：As an immediate action when an adjacent ally is the target of a spell or attack, you can expend 2 points of mental focus to redirect that spell or attack to yourself instead. You must declare that you are using this ability before the result of any attack roll is known or before any saving throws are attempted.
Warrior's Resilience（超常）／Warrior's Resilience：As an immediate action when you would be reduced to fewer than 0 hit points, you can expend 1 or more points of mental focus to remain at 0 hit points instead. Using this focus power costs 1 point of mental focus for every 5 points of damage below 0 that you would otherwise be reduced to (rounded up, minimum 1 point of mental focus). This has no effect on anything that would kill you without reducing your hit points below 0, such as a failed saving throw against a death effect.
