Spells are generally impossible to cast in combat.
Mystics can cast any Spell of a Circle equal or
lower to their Mystic Level.
Ongoing effects last until you cast another Spell,
though summoned extraplanar beings remain.
Persistent Spells have their effects last as long as
you wish or until you cast the same Spell again.
Cantrips
These minor tricks are not true Spells, do not inter-

quire you to use your Focus to cast them.
Focus
Every Mystic carries a Focus, typically an orb, wand,
or staff that allows to instantly cast a Prepared Spell
or any Cantrip you know as an action, while per-
forming the proper gestures and incantations.
It can also be used to dispel the ongoing effect of
another Mystic’s Spell unless they pass a WIL Save.
A Focus does not work when wearing armour.
Prepared Spells
During the Rest you can use your Tome to prepare a
number of Spells equal to your Experience Level to
cast using your Focus as an action.
Casting a Prepared Spell causes Damage equal to
its Spell Circle × 2 to the caster ignoring Armour. At
0hp, this Damage targets WIL instead of STR: pass
a WIL Save or fall unconscious for a few minutes.
Optionally, this will result in a Magic Mishap as
