The Mysteries
The Mysteries was a popular and rather innovative supplement for ArM4. It introduced the concept of Mysteries, secret traditions or cults that taught powers different from Hermetic Magic. The mystical traditions in The Mysteries were based on real-world legends, helping to build a bridge between the fictional Order of Hermes and real-world medieval Hermeticism.

- The Mysteries was completely re-written for ArM5 as Mysteries Revised Edition. Both the mechanics, and the magical traditions covered, are different. The Mysteries therefore has content that is not included in TMRE, though this content would need considerable work to adapt to the ArM5 rules.
