Spellcasting Focus
The mystic can use an orb as a spellcasting focus.
Disturb Space
The mystic can use a bonus action to disturb the space in a 5-foot cube centered on a point they can see within 60 feet. The disturbed space lasts until the start of the mystic's next turn. When a creature moves into disturbed space, the mystic can choose that the creature must stop moving or take 1d8 force damage.
At 6th level in this class, when the mystic uses this feature, they can disturb the space centered on 2 different points, and the damage increases to 2d8 force damage. At 14th level in this class, the mystic can disturb the space centered on 3 different points, and the damage increases to 3d8 force damage.
Disturb Time
Once an initiative order has being determined and the mystic is not surprised, they can choose one creature that they can see within 120. That creature takes a -3 penalty to its initiative. At 20th level in this class, the mystic can so effect 2 creatures, each taking a -5 penalty to its initiative.
Mystic Insight
From 18th level onwards, when the mystic makes a Wisdom (Insight) check to determine the truth of a written or spoken statement, they are considered proficient in the Insight skill and add double their proficiency bonus (instead of their normal proficiency bonus).
