Class features
Mixed Implements
As a Mystic, Starchild can use any implement (divi-
ne or arcane), to improve her spellcasting. Wands,
rods, scepters, symbols and staves are the bread and
butter.

Ritual magic
You can cast your spells as rituals: Namely, you can
use spells outside combat to obtain variable effects
based on the properties and intent of the spell. The
magnitude of the effect has to be reasonable, and the
connection to the spell should be justifiable. Ritual
casting is a time-consuming process that requires de-
dicated focus, and it can take 1d4 minutes/quarter-
hours/hours. The success of a ritual is typically de-
termined by a skill check, and the daily use of that
spell is spent regardless of the outcome.

Bonus spell - heal

You gain heal as a bonus cleric spell, which is always
prepared and does not count towards your prepared
spell slots.

spell cancels the earlier spell. (See the Chromatic
Destroyer Heritage talent for the path to multiple
breath weapon spells.) Failing a death save cancels
any breath weapon spells you have active. Some
sorcerers actually breathe like dragons when they
use breath weapon spells. Others treat the breath
weapon shtick as a metaphor and allow the spell to
do the blasting. As always with magic, the visuals
are up to you.

Chain
When you attack with a chain spell and get a
natural even roll, you can roll another attack against
a different enemy within range. Keep on rolling
attacks as long as you get even rolls and don’t run
out of new targets (each enemy can be targeted only
once).

Dancing Lights
All sorcerers can cast the dancing lights spell as a
standard action. Unlike the wizard’s light cantrip,
the sorcerer’s dancing lights spell produces a number
of varicolored light globes that bloom within 5 to 30
feet of the sorcerer every two to five seconds. The
sorcerer has very little control over the exact location
or illumination provided by the lights, meaning that

to use your next standard action to cast a sorcerer

If you want to waste a turn you can use your next

add an extra wrinkle. Of course you can gather
power the first time you cast a breath weapon
spell in a battle. Later in the fight it’s a question
of whether you gathered power the turn before a
breath weapon spell roll goes your way. You can be
all ready with gathered power but roll too low to
use the breath weapon spell, forcing you to cast a
different spell with the gathered power.

Mysticism
You can empower cleric spells as well as sorcerer
spells. After you have gathered power, you can
decide to empower a cleric spell instead of a sor-
cerer spell. If it is a damaging (attack) spell, the
empowering works as normal. Additionally, you can
empower healing spells (Heal and Cure Wounds): If
you do, the target can spend an additional recovery
than normal, and heals additional hp for the extra
recovery spent.
Adventurer Feat (2/3): You can also use the Spell
Frenzy benefit on cleric attack spells.

You can choose and memorize spells from the appro-
priate lists at the beginning of each day (that is, af-
ter each full heal-up). You memorize 5 sorcerer spells
