        You can get a lot of physical powers from animism, too. And I think it fits better - the mystics get their physical powers from training and control over their bodies, I would think the Taran mystics get their physical powers from allowing other powers (animal powers, wilderness powers) to enter in their bodies (which is pretty close to spirit integration, giving Talents). They are becoming not the peak of human achievment like the martial artists, they are becoming true creatures of the wild. They aren't, for example, seeing like a well trained human being, but like a hawk.

	I'd probably go for animists with a mystic secret.
	Nice thread, guys. Sorry that this is just a rules heavy suggestion
not a real contribution to your discussion.
	Cheers
