Keyblade Mystic[edit]
The Keyblade[edit]
Keyblades are mysterious weapons the come from the heart. Many Keyblade Masters have wielded these and see them as an important factor to the battle between Darkness and light. Keyblades are known for their ability to open any lock, as well as permanently lock anything shut. Long ago many Keyblade Masters fought a great war with these weapons to claim control over the original X-blade.
The Mystic[edit]
The Keyblade is a powerful weapon fueled by the heart. Some Keyblade Wielder's will take on the power of the Mystic, which focuses on using the intense magical prowess to it's fullest. The spellcasting from a keyblade can be quite versatile and multi purpose.
Creating a Keyblade Mystic[edit]
As you build your Keyblade Mystic, here are questions to consider. How did you get your Keyblade? Did you inherit your Keyblade from someone? If so was it a teacher, or some other Keyblade Master who saw you worthy of inheriting their power? Did your Keyblade come to you on it's own? If so, what was it that made it come to you? Was it at a moment of great need, or an act of courage?
Why choose the power of the mystic with your keyblade over the power of the guardian or warrior? Perhaps you've always been fascinated with magic and this gave you the opportunity to try it out? Perhaps you've already been practicing magic, and this new found power allows you to dive deeper into newfound territories of magic? Or did it just simply feel right?
Were you self taught with the power this weapon holds, or were you trained by a proper master?

- Magic Plus
Starting at 18th level, when you would roll to decide the damage inflicted by one of your spells that is 5th level or lower, you can choose to inflict the maximum damage instead. (For example, if the damage you roll would be 8d6, you can choose to inflict 48 damage.) You can only do this once and must complete a short or long rest before you can do this again.
Path Of The Trickster[edit]

Once only during that time, you can cast that spell without expending a spell slot. You can only hold 1 spell at a time this way.
- Reflega
Beginning at 10th level, your ability to protect yourself with magic is augmented. You always have the Barrier ability prepared and it does not count against the amount of abilities you can prepare. Additionally, if you cast the Shield Spell using the Barrier ability, the creature who attacked you to trigger it takes 1d6 force damage. You can spend an additional 1 AP to inflict an additional 1d6 force damage this way, to a maximum of 5d6 force damage.
- Blindesense
Starting at 14th level, if you are able to hear, you are aware of the location of any hidden or Invisible creature within 30 feet of you.
- Spell Mastery
At 18th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain Spells that you can cast them at will. Choose a 1st-level Keyblade spell and a 2nd-level Keyblade spell that you can cast. You can cast those Spells at their lowest level without expending a spell slot when you have them prepared. If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot as normal.
By spending 8 hours in meditation, you can exchange one or both of the Spells you chose for different Spells of the same levels.
