This is what it says on the tin - a feat chain to let an oracle take an extra mystery, or, with a higher degree of difficulty (because non-oracles don't have a curse) to let a non-oracle benefit from a revelation without taking an oracle dip. (Like the idea of a sorcerer picking up Sidestep Secret, or a bard picking up Lore Keeper for Charisma-based Knowledge checks.)
Name: Mysterious Induction
Prerequisites: 13 CHA, Skill Focus (any one class skill granted by the chosen mystery)
The subject gains access to an oracle mystery, as per the mystery class feature. Their effective oracle level for access to revelations from this mystery and the effect of those revelations is their character level -2, even if they have levels in Oracle.
From this point, an Oracle may add revelations with their regular class feature revelations or the feat Extra Revelation. Someone who isn't an oracle and doesn't have an Oracle's curse has no revelation class feature, and cannot yet add them.
Name: Mysterious Revelation
Prerequisites: 15 CHA (maybe), Mysterious Induction (definitely)
The subject gains the Oracle's revelation class feature. They may select a single revelation without a level requirement from their existing mystery through Mysterious Induction. They gain the benefit of this revelation (uses per day, effectiveness) at their effective oracle level from Mysterious Induction.
This gives a non-oracle access to a low-level revelation without taking a dip or curse, with a feat tax and a partial feat tax depending on how much use they get from the Skill Focus. (Multiple class skills from each mystery make it fairly easy to get some benefit from Skill Focus)
If they want more revelations, including higher-level revelations, at this point the non-oracle can now take Extra Revelation, rather than having an Improved and Greater feat chain like Eldritch Heritage.
