'''Glimmer''' is a mechanic that is usually only experienced if the player character has a high level of [[:Category:Mental Mutations|mental mutations]]. Glimmer is a quantified measure of how powerful a creature's mental capabilities are, or how noticeable in the case of those that frequently use {{favilink|Mass Mind}}. It is calculated by summing up all of the creature's mental mutation levels, plus any modifiers from {{favilink|Mass Mind}} or other static effects. This includes levels gained through [[Ego]] modifier. 1 point mental mutations add 1 to the current glimmer.

Each cult has an associated faction, and its hunters will be creatures normally associated with that faction (though their faction in-game will still be [[Playerhater]]). All hunters will be of the highest-level species of the cult's faction whose natural level is lower than the player's level (excluding legendaries, members which are ineligible for dynamic encounters, and [[cherubim]]). If there are multiple species tied for the same level, the hunters will be chosen randomly from among those creatures.{{Code Reference | namespace = XRL | class = PsychicHunterSystem}}

[[Extradimensional]] items left behind by cult hunters will typically have different bonus than similar items from the same dimension (the bonus depends on the cult, instead).

If glimmer is greater than 34, there is a 0.5*(glimmer-20) % chance that an additional hunter will spawn. If glimmer is greater than 49, this chance is rolled two more times, and then a third roll if glimmer is greater 80 with a chance of 0.5*(glimmer - 50)% to add an additional hunter. The maximum number of hunters is 5.
