Occult Classes
Beyond the worship of the divine and the studies of arcane scholars lies the mysterious terrain of the mind, accessed through psychic magic. Classes that draw upon psychic magic do so via innate mental abilities, whether they directly cast spells, create elemental effects, or focus psychic energy through objects. Members of these occult classes find themselves drawn to the strange and the hidden; they have connections to the timeless Astral Plane, the haunted bleakness of the Ethereal Plane, and the history of the Material Plane chronicled as psychic impressions in places and objects.
Psychic magic is a third type of magic that functions differently from arcane and divine magic. The rules for casting psychic spells appear in the Psychic Magic section. The occult classes' spell lists include many new spells from Occult Adventures, allowing them to fully express their mental powers. These spells, like other new rules elements, are marked with an asterisk (*).
From giant reindeer to towering Christmas trees, there is something for everyone to marvel at. The Magic of Lights East Hartford offers more than just beautiful lights. It also features synchronized music, creating an immersive experience that combines light and sound.
Classes
The six new classes presented in this section all use psychic magic. In most cases, this means they cast psychic spells. The new classes are as follows.
Kineticist: With a connection to the elements, a kineticist can bring forth energy in the form of kinetic blasts. Instead of casting psychic spells, the kineticist uses unique psychic spell-like abilities called wild talents to manipulate elemental energy and matter.
Medium: By contacting spirits in places of power, the medium allows the personalities of legendary heroes to overcome his own, vastly changing his abilities and spells. He holds seances to benefit himself and his allies.
Mesmerist: A mesmerist's piercing stare lets him insinuate himself into other people's minds. A master of enchantment and illusion, the mesmerist controls and influences the behavior of others.
Occultist: To make use of his powers, an occultist channels psychic energy into a varied collection of antiques and mementos with storied pasts. Every type of implement allows him to use a different school of magic.
Psychic: With her incredibly potent mind, the psychic can cast spells that are more powerful than those of members of any other occult class. She accesses these spells through a specific discipline, and can bend and amplify psychic spells as she casts them.
Spiritualist: Attuned to the spirits of the dead, a spiritualist forms a bond with a phantom—a returned spirit that has unfinished business but did not become undead. This spectral ally can alternate between forms, emerging from the safety of the spiritualist's mind to take on an incorporeal form or an ectoplasmic body.
Racial Favored Class Options
The rules below allow members of races from the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook to take alternate rewards when they gain a level in a favored class chosen from among the classes in this book.
Each of these rewards replaces the normal reward for having a level in a favored class (gaining 1 extra hit point or 1 extra skill rank). Unlike those general rewards, the alternate favored class options speak directly to the features of specific classes and the general tendencies of various races.
Whenever you gain a level in a favored class, you can choose which favored class option you take. Unless otherwise noted, these benefits always stack with themselves.
Many of these alternate class rewards add only 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/6 to a roll (rather than 1) each time the reward is selected, or add 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, or 1/6 to a class ability (such as adding to a mesmerist's number of mesmerist tricks per day or the total number of points in a psychic's phrenic pool). When applying such a benefit to a die roll or class ability, always round down (to a minimum of 0). You may thus need to select such an option several times before the benefit takes effect. If an alternate favored class option modifies a class feature or ability, it can't be taken before the character has that class feature or ability. For example, if a class gains a class feature at 6th level, a character couldn't take a racial favored class option that applies to that class feature until 6th level, even if the benefit from that option wouldn't be high enough to add a bonus until a later level.
Some options may have a fixed numerical limit, after which selecting that favored class reward again has no effect. In these cases, you can always select from among the standard rewards when taking a level in a favored class (gaining 1 extra hit point or 1 extra skill rank).
Abilities from favored class options that increase a character's caster level for the purpose of determining the duration of certain spells apply this increase after other effects that adjust a spell's duration, such as Extend Spell.
Visitors can tune their radios to a specific frequency to enjoy the synchronized music that complements the light display, adding an extra layer of enchantment to the experience. One of the highlights of the event is the Tunnel of Lights. Visitors can drive through a tunnel adorned with multicolored lights, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle.

The event is not only a spectacle for visitors but also a way to give back to the community. Magic of Lights East Hartford partners with local charities, giving a portion of its proceeds to support their efforts. This adds a sense of community and goodwill to the event, making it even more special. Overall, Magic of Lights East Hartford is a captivating holiday event that brings joy and wonder to the community.

Reviews for "Captivating visitors with East Hartford's radiant lights"
1. John Smith - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with the Magic of Lights East Hartford experience. The entire event felt rushed and lacked variety. The light displays were uninspiring and many appeared to be half-hearted attempts at creating something magical. The overall atmosphere was dull and underwhelming. I had higher expectations for this event and ended up leaving feeling let down. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a truly enchanting light display.
2. Emily Johnson - 2 stars
The Magic of Lights East Hartford was a huge disappointment for me. The ticket prices were steep for what was essentially a poorly executed drive-through light show. The displays were very basic, with only a few vibrant ones that caught my attention. The majority of the lights were dim and unimpressive. Additionally, the traffic flow was poorly managed, resulting in long waits and frustration. Overall, I expected a much more captivating and mesmerizing experience.
3. David Thompson - 1 star
Magic of Lights East Hartford was a complete waste of time and money. The light displays were lackluster and repetitive, with no unique or standout features. The event felt like a cash grab rather than a genuine effort to create a magical atmosphere. The organization was chaotic, leading to massive traffic jams and frustrated visitors. I left feeling disillusioned and cheated out of a memorable holiday experience. I would not recommend this event to anyone seeking a truly magical lights display.
