Tim Torres objects to Mysticism being incompatible with Ceremony. This is
because Mysticism, both Christian and Eastern, afaik is incompatible with
ritual and received knowledge. In game terms this only means you can't
use Ceremony to increase your chance of increasing your success chance in
using Mysticism magic. The opposed Personality Trait roll is already
supposed to represent meditation. Think of the hostage scene in Seven
Samurai. First the hero meditates and then acts suddenly and decisively.
Another good example is the Oriental water colour, prolonged meditation
and then in the blinking of an eye a few deft strokes create a master-piece.
