Connections
Source Player Core pg. 119
Your connection is a mystical force that grants you magic. It could come from a divine patron, manifestation of a primeval cosmic force, or some other mystery. Your connection determines your spellcasting tradition and grants you the trained proficiency rank in the listed connection skill. You automatically add your connection spells to your spell repertoire, as described in the spell repertoire class feature. You gain the initial epiphany at 1st level and can gain the advanced and greater epiphanies by selecting the Advanced Epiphany and Greater Epiphany feats. You gain your chosen connection's harmony at 1st level, which triggers whenever you Transfer Vitality, and your connection's perfect harmony at 19th level.
Akashic
Source Player Core pg. 119
You maintain a permanent psychic link to the Akashic Record, the supernatural repository of all knowledge in the multiverse. This connection allows you to access knowledge that otherwise would remain beyond the grasp of regular mortal minds.

Epiphany Spells
Harmony
When you Transfer Vitality, choose an elemental trait: air, earth, fire, metal, water, or wood. If one or more of your elemental epiphanies are active, you must select the elemental trait you chose as part of casting those spells. Until the end of their next turn, the target's next Strike deals damage based on the chosen trait (your choice), rather than its typical damage type: electricity or sonic for air, bludgeoning or piercing for earth, acid or slashing for metal, fire for fire, bludgeoning or cold for water, or piercing or poison for wood.
Perfect Harmony
During your daily preparations, choose an elemental trait (as listed in harmony). You gain resistance equal to half your level to both damage types associated with the element you selected. If you chose fire, you additionally gain resistance to cold. Whenever you heal a bonded ally with Transfer Vitality, the target gains these resistances until the beginning of your next turn.
Healing

Rhythm
