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.

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. | Fantastic, you've joined a cult, and not because of the Koolaid.

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! And remember, '''if you get caught, you endanger the entire cult.''' | 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!

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. | 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.

Now you've started researching words. The best way to do this is start by using two known words then going down the list to fill in the last word. | Now you've started researching words.

A good way to start is by figuring out the Convert rune, Join-Blood-Self. '''The cult will always start with Join, Blood, Self, and Hell if all cultists share their words.''' Remember, if a rune is correct it will always be the same color ( | A good way to start is by figuring out the Convert rune, Join-Blood-Self. '''The cult will always start with Join, Blood, Self, and Hell if all cultists share their words.''' Remember, if a rune is correct it will always be the same color (exception being armor runes.) Convert will always be a dark blood red color, teleport will be purple, etc. If you think you have the right rune word but you aren't sure, create another using the same three words, if it's the same color you likely have it right. With some practice this will become second nature. | ||
Once you have Join, Blood, and Self, you have a huge list of runes to choose from to research new words. The Blood Drain rune consists of Travel, Blood, and Self, so to find the Travel word you would go down the list of unknown words until you create a proper Blood Drain rune. Once you have Travel, you can easily move on to the Wall rune which is Destroy, Travel, Self, again you only require one word so just work your way down the list. You can do this with any rune you like until you've discovered every word and noted them in your Tome. | Once you have Join, Blood, and Self, you have a huge list of runes to choose from to research new words.

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. | Each rune contains three words combined to form a single rune through the "Scribe Rune" option.

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, each person who begins as a cultist remembers two words, including one of the following: "Join", "Blood", "Self", and "Hell" so that you always know the words for Convert and Summon Nar'Sie if you properly communicate. | ||
There are two ways to find out meaning of words. First, you can simply use sacrifice runes 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. The other way is through trial and error. Knowing at least one word needed for a rune, you can find out the the other word(s) with only a few paper cuts involved. Don't forget: 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. | There are two ways to find out meaning of words.
