Occultist
Occultists are students of esoteric secrets and arcane magic. They fully believe in paranormal abilities and actively attempt to learn about and discover these powers within themselves. Most are familiar with a broad range of different philosophies and magical theories, some believing that they can actually perform feats of magic—the veracity of such abilities is left to the Keeper to determine.
It should be noted that, in the main, occultists are familiar with "earthly magic"—the secrets of Mythos magic are unknown to them, save in tantalizing hints referenced in ancient books.
