As a cultist, you have an abundance of cult magics at your disposal, something for all situations. In order to use cult magic, you need an Arcane Tome and the correct word combination to form a rune. If you've started the round out as a cultist, you are given a talisman that you can use to spawn various objects (More on that later.), memories of your cult objectives, and the translation of two words. '''Remember these translations and be sure to share them with other cultists!'''

!The Arcane Tome is the most important item for any cultist. It is used to draw runes with your blood. It also contains some basic info on the runes you can use. The tome can also be used as a potent weapon, each hit dealing random amount of damage, from 5 up to 25 per hit.

!Communications Talisman
!Communications Talisman
!When used, a text window appears to allow you to broadcast whatever you want directly into the minds of all cultists and constructs in '''BOLD, CAPITAL, RED TEXT'''. The first thing a starting cultist should do is get somewhere private, spawn one of these and '''SHARE THEIR WORDS'''.
!When used, a text window appears to allow you to broadcast whatever you want directly into the minds of all cultists and constructs in '''BOLD, CAPITAL, RED TEXT'''. It is undetectable unless someone nearb overhears you. This is useful if you need to communicate with the cult before you know the translation for the communicate rune.

!Summon a cultist body armor and hood which protect against close combat damage, as well as summoning the unholy cultist blade which is very powerful as it is cursed by Nar'Sie's dark power (Non-Cultists will have a "drunken" camera and when trying to use it will fall to the ground and take some damage).

Fantastic, you've joined a cult, and not because of the Koolaid.  At the beginning of the round, you start out with the talisman we mentioned earlier in your backpack. Depending on your experience with being a cultist, this talisman can either be your best friend, or your worst enemy. Every use of this talisman will do a small amount of damage to yourself as well as being exceptionally obvious to any passerby. It is incredibly versatile, yet if you're caught with it you will likely be killed. Avoid taking this out of your bag until you're positive nobody will walk in on your unholy deeds.

If you're in a position that would usually wander the halls, try to gather a word or two from your fellow cultists before you summon a tome of your very own! Communication talismans are great for this but remember not to get caught, when you use the talisman you also chant a phrase out loud that people might hear if they're close enough! Never use your PDA, as the AI can intercept your messages and catch you. And remember, '''if you get caught, you endanger the entire cult.'''

The Stun Talisman option will spawn you another piece of paper, to use this one you only need to click on somebody with the paper in your hand. It has the same effect as a parapen, stunning people immediately and rendering them unable to speak, this also works on cyborgs if you need to. Like a parapen, this item is risky if you don't have a way to either convert your victim, or kill them.

Once you have your own tome, either put it away or put known words into your notes section if anyone else has shared their words. Once you've set words, runes will appear in the scribing section as preset rune combinations.

===Learning Words===
===Learning Words===
Once you've become a cultist, learning words will be key. The primary way of learning words is converting. Every time you convert someone, you will learn a new word which must be manually copied into the tome
 
Once you've become a cultist, learning words will be key. There are 10 words used for rune scribing, what they translate to are: "travel", "self", "see", "Hell", "blood", "join", "technology", "destroy", "hide", and "other". Your Arcane tome, however, requires research and translation. Specifically, you must have words translated in its Notes section before you can scribe any runes that involve those words. Every cultist remembers the words for "join," "blood" and "self," which are the words that make up the conversion rune.
 
There are three ways to find out the meaning of words. The primary method is conversion. You can convert crewmates -- not security, as they are loyalty implanted, or the chaplain, as he is immune -- which will please the elders enough for them to grant you a word translation. You can also use sacrifice runes once they are available to sacrifice humans and monkeys. With each sacrifice comes a chance to suddenly remember a rune word. The final way is through trial and error. Knowing at least one word (preferably two) needed for a rune, you can find out the the other word(s) if you are clever. Trying to use a rune you scribed with incorrect translations does a great deal of brute damage, but all proper runes always have fixed colors and sprites, while incorrect runes are random colors, the exception being Armor runes which will always be random colors.

Take the five-use paper out of your bag, and summon a tome and get a stun talisman. You start with the words for convert but they don't automatically go into your tome, so set them in the notes section. Scribe a rune for convert in a hard-to-find and secure location (for example, if you're a Bartender, smash the light in the back room and scribe it there, as the AI can't see with a broken light), find someone alone, and click on them with the stun talisman. They'll collapse for a long while, and you can pull them over the convert rune and invoke it by clicking it with an empty hand to convert them and, in turn, gain a word. Keep doing this with talismans from your original paper until you have the imbue and stun runes available, then you can save the paper for other things.

You, or another cultist has now translated all of the words. Hopefully you remembered to use the communication rune ''(Self-Other-Technology)'' to share this with the entire cult. With proper communication, you can do things like summon cultists to a meeting place, resurrect fallen allies, create teleportation networks for ease of escape or access to areas, supply the other cultists with armor, weapons, stun and teleport talismans, and whatever else you might think of. Be sure to inform your converted brothers about any runes or places of worship that you have set up, and if you're able, give them a tome of their own (Translated is good.) so they may help the cause.

Each rune contains three words combined to form a single rune through the "Scribe Rune" option. Runes can be destroyed by using your arcane tome on the rune. This will destroy the rune completely and you will need to scribe a new one.

You can also use sacrifice runes once they are available to sacrifice humans and monkeys. With each sacrifice comes a chance to suddenly remember a rune word. Unfortunately, sacrificing requires three people standing next to the rune for it to work unless the person is dead, which may not impress your dark lord. The other way is through trial and error.
