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. - ----------
