Ghost Mage - Read Magic mistake?


Rules Discussion


Within the Bestiary 1 Pg. 167. The Ghost Mage is listed as having the Cantrip: Read Magic.

Which doesn't exist in PF2E.

I was looking around and couldn't find any errata's. Could it mean Read Aura instead?


Strange. The Ghost Mage entry in AoN lists detect magic, ghost sound, mage hand, prestidigitation as the cantrips.

If I was to guess, I would guess Read Magic would mean Read Aura too.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I should let AoN know. Cause, I'd just be alerting them of not listing a mistake from the book.


I'm also not entirely sure what the purpose of having any of these cantrips available is. Is a Ghost Mage enemy really going to be using Read Magic? Or Detect magic / Read Aura that it should have been listed as?

Exactly what kind of encounter are we going for here?

You could tell them what the book says and why it can't be right so they can be on the lookout for a correction.
