About

Mystics are deeply connected to the multiverse. Many folks believe these humanoids have mastered their minds. This is incorrect, they have actually surrendered to their souls. They do have a new relationship to their minds however, simply observing their thoughts.

Interior Life. Mystics aren’t consumed by their thoughts and emotions. They stay in the moment and take whatever action they feel is required. Mystics understand that thoughts and emotions are merely passing through their consciousness.

Psionic Master. Their psionic powers include the ability to create a psychic sword with their mind. They can also send out forceful bolts of thought to target their enemies. In addition, their minds form a psionic shield around them called mind armor.

Patient Perfection. The mystic learns that their personal journey could last a long time, possibly beyond mortal constructs. They trust in something greater than themselves and continue steadily on their path.
