Mysticism

Similar to Magery, Mysticism consists of spells divided into eight circles that signify their power and the magic ability required to cast them. The more powerful a spell you wish to cast, the more mana each spell requires you to expend. Spells of the Eighth Rank require great measures of both skill and mana, while spells of the First Circle are much easier and require less energy. There are sixteen spells in all, those skilled in Mysticism are known as Mystics.

Mysticism uses four special reagents, Bone, Daemon’s Bone, Fertile Dirt, and Dragon’s Blood, in addition to the eight magery reagents.

Focus or Imbuing

Just as magery needs the support skill, evaluate intelligence, mysticism needs the support of a second skill to give effectiveness to the spells. This can be either Focus or Imbuing, when damage spells are cast, if both skills are present, the effectiveness will be determined by whichever of these two skills is the higher.
Focus has two purposes in regards to Mysticism:

• Acts as a damage modifier to Mysticism spells – The higher your Focus, the more damage you do
• Allows you to passively Regenerate Mana (slower than meditation) and Regenerate Stamina. Unlike meditation, focus is unaffected by your choice of armor.

Inscription

Mysticism damage spells receive the same bonus from inscription skill as magery damage spells. These spells are: Nether Bolt, Eagle Strike, Bombard, Spell Plague, Hail Storm, and Nether Cyclone. These are also the spells affected by equipping slayer spellbooks.

Equipping weapons and shields requires the item to have the spell channelling property, in the same way as the property is required for mages.

The Spells

First Circle – Mana cost 4; Delay 0.50 seconds; Min Skill 0.
Spells	Reagents	Description
Nether Bolt (In Corp Ylem)	Black Pearl, Sulfurous Ash	Fires a bolt of nether energy at the Target, dealing Chaos damage. 120 Mysticism, 120 Focus/imbuing: Damage: 30-37 (Comparable to Magic Arrow) Rapid repetition of the spell, or combination of it with magic arrow, on a single target will cause no damage beyond the initial hit.
Healing Stone (Kal In Mani)	Bone, Garlic, Ginseng, Spider’s Silk	Creates a large, non transferable, red gem in your backpack with a stored amount of healing points. The amount of healing points depends on your Mysticism & Focus or Imbuing skill. You must have a free hand to use it, when used the Healing Stone will attempt to cure you or heal you, deducting points healed from the stone’s available total. The stone takes 20 seconds to fully recharge, if used again before recharging it will heal for a lesser amount. Points are also deducted from the stone for cure attempts, the higher the poison, the more points will be used up. The stone lasts until the points are used up, or it is dropped on the floor.
Second Circle – Mana cost 6; Delay 0.75 seconds; Min Skill 8.
Spells	Reagents	Description
Purge Magic (An Ort Sanct)	Fertile Dirt, Garlic, Mandrake Root, Sulfurous Ash	Players can only be purged once every 8 seconds Attempts to remove a ‘buff’ from the target. Success is determined by the caster’s Mysticism and Focus or Imbuing versus the target’s Resisting Spells skill and the casting difficulty of the buff spell. If there are no wards to Purge it places a curse on the target that increases their mana cost until the target damages something. When removed the target takes damage proportionate to how long the effect has been in place. The effect ends after 8 seconds and the damage type is Chaos (targets a random resist). The target will be immune to purge effects for an additional 16 seconds if they are affected by the mana disruption.
Enchant (In Ort Ylem)	Spider’s Silk , Mandrake Root, Sulfurous Ash	Adds up to 60 Hit Spell of your choice (Fireball, Harm, Magic Arrow, Lightning, Dispel) to a weapon.

*While the skill required to cast spell trigger is higher than that to cast the spell stored, using the stone requires the skill of the stored spell. Example: If spell trigger is cast while wearing skill bonus items, the stone may be triggered without the bonus items if real skill is high enough to cast the stored spell.
