Some character choices give access to uncommon options, and the GM can choose to allow access for anyone. Less is known about uncommon creatures than common creatures. They typically can't be summoned. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to these creature is increased by 2.

Abjuration

Effects and magic items with this trait are associated with the abjuration school of magic, typically involving protection or wards.

Cursebound

Spells with this trait increase the severity of your oracular curse when cast. Usually, only revelation spells have this trait. You can't cast a cursebound spell if you don't have an oracular curse.

Fortune

A fortune effect beneficially alters how you roll your dice. You can never have more than one fortune effect alter a single roll. If multiple fortune effects would apply, you have to pick which to use. If a fortune effect and a misfortune effect would apply to the same roll, the two cancel each other out, and you roll normally.

Mental

A mental effect can alter the target's mind. It has no effect on an object or a mindless creature.

Oracle
