Humans and Gargoyles worked together from a common source of magic, and the Gargoyles went on to refine their arcane arts to deal with the cataclysms destroying their world. Gargoyles have mastered the art of magic  called Mysticism.

Similar to Magery, Mysticism consists of 16 spells and eight ranks that signify their power and the magic ability required to cast them. These eight concentric ranks correspond to vortices within the ether, all spinning one within another as they expand through the universe. The more powerful a spell you wish to cast, the deeper into the inner  circles of ether you must penetrate.
The deeper you go, the more mana (magical energy) each spell requires you to expend. Spells of the Eighth Rank  require great measures of both skill and mana, while spells of the First Rank are much easier and require less  energy.

Those skilled in Mysticism are known as Mystics.

Mysticism uses all the Magery reagents in addition to 3 new reagents: Bone, Daemon’s Bone, Fertile Dirt, and Dragon’s Blood.

Note:

Either Focus or imbuing affects Mystic’s spellpower, Evaluating Intelligence has no affect.

Your Opponent’s Resisting Spells affects: Purge Magic, Sleep, Mass Sleep, Bombard, Spell Plague, and Nether Cyclone.

All damage spells are affected by Inscription: Nether Bolt, Eagle Strike, Bombard, Spell Plague, Hail Storm, and Nether Cyclone.

Spells	Words of Power	Reagents
Nether Bolt	In Corp Ylem	BP, SA
Fires a bolt of nether energy at the Target, dealing Chaos (Chaos) damage.120 Mysticism, 120 Focus/imbuing: Damage: 30-37 (Comparable to Magic Arrow)
Healing Stone	Kal In Mani	B, Ga, Gi, SS
Creates a large 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 (300 points at 120 Mysticism/Focus or Imbuing). When used the Healing Stone will attempt to cure you or heal you for, initially, 39 health (at 120 Mysticism/Focus or Imbuing), if used again before recharging (takes 20 seconds) it heals for a lesser amount (for example if used immediately it heals for 3-4). Cure attempts and amount healed are subtracted from the points on the stone. The stone lasts until the points are used up, or it is dropped on the floor (stays through log out/in & server maintenance).The Healing Stone requires a hand free to use. Attempts to Cure, may vary depending on the strength of the Poison, however a failed attempt on Deadly Poison used 20 of the stones healing points, and a successful attempt used 60. The amount healed is a direct subtraction from the stones points (if you heal for 39 it takes 39, if you heal for 10 it takes 10 etc).
Second Circle – Mana cost 6; Delay 0.75 seconds; Min Skill 8.

Purge Magic	An Ort Sanct	FD, Ga, M, SA
Attempts to remove a beneficial ward (such as Bless/Protection/Str or Dex potions/Necro forms… but no longer Ninjitsu forms) from the target. The spell is a type of Curse, meaning success is determined by a comparison between the caster’s Mysticism and Focus or Imbuing against the target’s Resisting Spells skill.The skill level required to cast the ward also now plays a part in the success of the Purging calculation. 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).
Enchant	In Ort Ylem	SS, MR, SA
Adds up to 60 Hit Spell (Fireball, Harm, Magic Arrow, Lightning, Dispel) to a weapon.

At 120 Mysticism and 120 Focus or Imbuing the effect lasts 2 minutes or until the weapon is unequipped/reequipped.

The Caster’s Focus/imbuing and Mysticism skills determine the effectiveness of the Cleansing Winds, the effectiveness of the spell is scaled based on the number of targets when healing targets that are not the caster.  If a target is cured the healing they received will be reduced proportionately to the level of poison that was cured.  If the cure fails, the target will not be healed.120 Mysticism, 120 Focus/imbuing: Healing: 31-36
