* Cultists can know a rune's name and effects by examining it.
* Cultists can know a rune's name and effects by examining it.
* Cultists often find a use for medibots. Having a single bot with a low threshold, backed up with the odd bruise pack, can allow a tiny number of cultists to summon and arm a vast number of ghostly warriors to their aid. A single bot can juggle multiple people at once, if they are relatively close to each other.
* Your tome is a robust burning weapon.
* Engineering staff during cult are top-priority converts, as they can sabotage telecomms for you.
* The chaplain is immune to your magic. Don't attempt to use talismans on him, or you will get discovered and beheaded.
* Keeping a shade in a soulstone with you will allow you to use two-person runes by yourself, by releasing and then recapturing the shade.

* Engineering staff during cult are top-priority converts, as they can sabotage telecomms for you, or build secret bases in space.
* Are you cult? Got talismans? You can store them on a clipboard, and nobody ever checks clipboards, especially if you're QM or another role that spawns with them. Right-click the papers to label them and keep track of their effects, or just examine them.

* Now, are you CHEF cult? Bake your talismans into fortune cookies and hand them out to cultmates.
* Get some platsteel either from mining, stealing it from robotics, engineering or EVA storage, or deconstructing reinforced walls/tables if you are desperate.

* Drag paper bins onto you to pick them up. A single paper bin holds 30 papers, and that's 30 potential talismans!

* Are almost all other cultist dead? Get a medibot and create a ghost army with Manifest Spirit and arm them with Talisman of Arming.
* Always be ready to summon a cultist in trouble. He will likely not be able to call for help on the cult chat, so keep an eye on normal comms. Even better if you have someone in Astral Communion to warn you.
* Astral Communion is an incredibly powerful exploration tool, and ghosts can give you precious hints.
* The EMP rune's area of effect scales with invokers, and can hit most of the station if placed in a central enough spot, effectively working as a powersink. Combine this with crowbars for free access everywhere.

* Manifest Spirit is also useful for getting those missing cultists you need for the Nar'Sie rune.
