Mystic Spellcasting represents the class's primary supernatural capability—a spontaneous casting system that channels cosmic forces through your chosen connection to reshape reality, heal allies, and manipulate the fundamental laws of the universe. As a Wisdom-based spontaneous caster with a curated spell repertoire determined by your connection, you combine the flexibility of spontaneous casting with the thematic focus of connection-specific magic.
Mystic Spellcasting Features
Source Player Core pg. 116
You are a spellcaster and can cast spells using the Cast a Spell activity. As a mystic, when you cast spells, you might intone a prayer or hum a song inspired by your epiphanies, gesture or dance in patterns that follow the flow of your connection's network, and accompany your spellcasting with wisps of energy flowing between you and your bonded allies.
Each day, you can cast up to three 1st-rank spells. You must know spells to cast them, and you learn them via the spell repertoire class feature. The number of spells you can cast each day is called your spell slots.
As you increase in level as a mystic, your number of spells per day increases, as does the highest rank of spells you can cast, as shown on the Mystic Spells per Day table.
Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack to see how effective they are or have your enemies roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). Since your key attribute is Wisdom, your spell attack modifiers and spell DCs use your Wisdom modifier.
Heightening Spells
When you get spell slots of 2nd rank and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-rank spells. This increases the spell's rank to match the spell slot. You must have a spell in your spell repertoire at the rank you want to cast in order to heighten it to that rank. Many spells have specific improvements when they're heightened to certain ranks. The signature spells class feature lets you heighten certain spells freely.
Cantrips
Some of your spells are cantrips. A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn't use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will, as many times per day as you like. A cantrip is automatically heightened to half your level rounded up—this is usually equal to the highest rank of mystic spell slot you have. For example, as a 1st-level mystic, your cantrips are 1st-rank spells, and as a 5th-level mystic, your cantrips are 3rd-rank spells.
Mystic Spells per Day
Mystic Spellcasting embodies the class's role as conduit for cosmic forces—spontaneous, intuitive, and connection-driven magic that blends thematic focus with tactical flexibility. Whether channeling occult mysteries through the Akashic Record, divine vitality through healing connections, primal elements through elemental bonds, or rhythmic cosmic songs, Mystics wield spellcasting as an extension of their supernatural bonds to fundamental universal forces. Through careful repertoire management, strategic signature spell selections, and synergy between spell slots and focus spells, Mystic spellcasting provides both consistent magical utility and explosive high-level power.
