You understand that what most people call magic is simply an expression of the innate connection between all things, and you intuitively tap into this unseen power to create strange effects. You may conceptualize the source of your magic as divine grace, a manipulation of fundamental energy, or an unlocking of psychic potential, but always with the knowledge that you are a conduit channeling forces greater than yourself. Though you may study, you understand that spellcasting—like all existence—is messy and intuitive, and you specialize in biology and mental systems too complex to be perfectly understood by science. You sense the intangible and exploit your bonds with others, whether to bolster them or bend them to your will.
Your Wisdom determines your spellcasting ability, the saving throw DCs of your spells, and the number of bonus spells you can cast per day, so Wisdom is your key ability score. A high Charisma score can also help you in social situations.

You cast spells drawn from the mystic spell list. To learn
or cast a spell, you must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s
level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against your spell is 10 + the
spell’s level + your Wisdom modifier.
You can cast only a certain number
of spells of each spell level per day. Your number of spells per day is given
on Table 4–4: Mystic. In addition, you receive bonus spells per day if you have
a Wisdom modifier of +1 or higher, as shown on Table 4–5: Mystic Bonus Spells—note
that you only receive these bonus spells once you can cast spells of that level
normally. You can also cast 0-level spells. These spells are cast like any other
spell, but there is no limit to how many 0-level spells you can cast each day.
Your selection of spells is limited. You begin play knowing four 0-level spells
and two 1st-level spells of your choice. At each new mystic level, you learn
one or more new spells, as indicated on Table 4–6: Mystic Spells Known. Unlike
spells per day, the number of spells you know isn’t affected by your Wisdom
modifier.
Every time you gain a level, you can swap out one spell you already
know and learn a single new spell of the same level in its place. In effect,
you lose the old spell in exchange for the new one. You must choose whether
or not to swap the spell at the same time you gain new spells known for the
level.
You can cast any mystic spell you know at any time, assuming you have
not yet used up your allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level. You
can also cast a spell using a higher-level spell slot. For instance, if you
want to cast a 1st-level spell but have used up all your 1st-level spells for
the day, you can use a spell from a 2nd-level slot instead if you have one.
You can also decipher magical inscriptions that would otherwise be unintelligible
or, as a full action, identify any spells encoded in a spell gem as a full action.
This does not normally invoke the magic contained within, although it may do
so in the case of a cursed or trapped spell gem.
You have a mysterious connection with some force that grants you magical
powers. The exact nature of your connection can vary widely, and even mystics
who share the same connection may interpret it differently. You must pick one
connection upon taking your first level of mystic—once made, this choice can’t
be changed. Connections you can choose from can be found here.
Many mystics
serve as priests of various gods, and while you can theoretically choose any
type of connection with any entity or concept, deities rarely grant connections
that don’t fit within their ethos (for example, Weydan, the god of freedom,
is unlikely to look kindly on overlords). As such, each connection lists the
deities and philosophies commonly associated with it.
At 1st level, 3rd level, and every 3 levels thereafter, you gain a connection power unique to your connection. If a connection power allows a saving throw to resist its effects, the DC is equal to 10 + half your mystic level + your Wisdom modifier. If the power requires an enemy to attempt a skill check, the DC is equal to 10 + 1-1/2 × your mystic level + your Wisdom modifier.
Your connection grants you additional spells known, one for each level of
mystic spell you can cast, starting at 1st level and at any level when you normally
gain access to a new spell level. These spells are in addition to the spells
known listed on Table 4–6: Mystic Spells Known. These spells can’t be exchanged
for different spells at higher levels (except in specific cases; see below).
The spell level of each spell is listed in your connection’s entry.
If your
connection lists a single variable-level spell (see page 330) for all spell
levels at the start of its spells entry, you gain that variable-level spell
when you first get your connection spell for each level. The next time you gain
a connection spell, add the next higher level of the variable-level spell to
your list of spells known. You immediately lose the lower-level version of that
variable-level spell and replace it with the listed connection spell for that
lower level.
Once per day, you can spend 10 minutes to magically heal an ally up to 5 Hit Points per mystic level.
You draw strange feelings, instincts, knowledge, and urges from your connection, augmenting your prowess in certain tasks. Each connection has two skills associated with it. You gain a +1 insight bonus to skill checks with your connection’s associated skills. This bonus increases by 1 at 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter.
You can form a mental link with creatures you touch, communicating information rapidly through it. You can use mindlink at will as a spell-like ability, though only once per day on any given individual.
You gain Weapon Specialization as a bonus feat for each weapon type this class grants you proficiency with.
As a standard action, you can form a telepathic link with up to six other willing creatures, allowing you to communicate telepathically at great distances. This functions as telepathic bond, except the duration is permanent. You can have only one telepathic bond active in this way at any given time; creating a new telepathic bond immediately ends the previous one.
You are close to becoming one with your connection. You can cast each of
your connection spells once per day without consuming a spell slot. In addition,
you learn how to temporarily transcend your physical form. Once per day, you
can spend 1 Resolve Point to project your consciousness outside of your physical
body in the form of an intangible psychic image of yourself. This counts as
a 6th-level illusion effect and lasts for a number of rounds equal to your mystic
level. While your consciousness is projected, your physical body is considered
blind, deaf, and helpless, but you can return to your body as a swift action.
You control your psychic image as though it was your own body, and your senses
perceive only what the image can see and hear. You move with a fly speed of
60 feet and perfect maneuverability. You can pass through solid objects as though
you were incorporeal, but you can’t go farther into a solid object than your
space (5 feet for a Medium creature). You can’t directly affect physical objects.
Your projected consciousness is immune to most attacks or effects, whether or
not they affect incorporeal creatures, but mindaffecting effects have their
full effect on you.
You can cast any mystic spell or spell-like ability with
a range of touch or greater from your projected consciousness. The spells affect
other targets normally. You can’t cast any spells on your projected consciousness
except for illusion spells. You need not maintain line of effect to your projected
consciousness, but if you cross into another plane, even momentarily (including
via Drift travel), your mind immediately returns to your physical body.
You achieve enlightenment, becoming a living incarnation of your connection. You no longer age, nor do you die of old age. Once per day as a move action, you can enter a state of total communion with your connection that lasts for 1 minute. During this time, you gain a +4 insight bonus to attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks, and you gain 20 temporary Resolve Points that you can use only on connection powers. Any unspent temporary Resolve Points disappear at the end of this minute. In addition, once per week, you can cast miracle as a spell-like ability.
