'''Mysticism''' is one of [[secondary skill]]s. Normally heroes regenerate one [[spell point]] per day, but mysticism enables heroes to regenerate up to four points per day.

== Comparison with [[Intelligence]] ==
Both Intelligence and Mysticism increase the amount of mana the hero can spend before returning to their town (as spending a night at a town with a [[Mage Guild]] replenishes hero's mana pool). Assuming that heroes use a certain average amount of mana each day, and that the moment a hero runs out of mana they immediately return to one of their towns to replenish it, Mysticism is superior to Intelligence as long as the hero's average daily mana spending is less than 6 / 3.8 / 3 times their daily mana regeneration bonus from Mysticism respectively for Basic / Advanced / Expert Intelligence.
 
In simpler terms, Mysticism is preferable to Intelligence if on average, the hero spends ''at most'' 6 / 7.6 / '''9''' {{ws}} (24 / 34.2 / '''42''' {{wh}}) mana per day (for Basic, Advanced and Expert respectively, assuming Mysticism and Intelligence are at the same level of proficiency).


In [[Horn of the Abyss]] {{withhota}}, the skill regenerates 5, 10, and 15 spell points per day.
Obviously, these assumptions do not apply if the hero has easy access to [[well]]s, [[magic spring]]s, the [[mana vortex]] or the [[Wizard's Well]] artifact.

In the traditional Heroes 3, Mysticism is usually ignored by players. There are opportunities to restore all mana points, namely [[Magic Well]]s and towns with a [[Mage Guild]], and a [[Magic Spring]] or [[Mana Vortex]] in [[Dungeon]] will double them. However, on rare occasions when a map doesn't have many places to reload mana it can be useful (e.g. on the map [[Azure Dragons (campaign scenario)|Azure Dragons]], the last scenario of [[Dragon Slayer]] campaign, Mage Guilds are absent in towns - while there is still a low possibility that you learn Mysticism, since you should win first three scenarios in order to proceed to the last one, and they aren't freebies, thus requiring [[Dracon]] to learn something stronger than Mysticism). In {{hota}}{{-wh}}, Mysticism earns much more spell points, and on expert level it allows to cast some high-level spells every day.

Comparison with Intelligence[edit | hide | hide all]

Both Intelligence and Mysticism increase the amount of mana the hero can spend before returning to their town (as spending a night at a town with a Mage Guild replenishes hero's mana pool). Assuming that heroes use a certain average amount of mana each day, and that the moment a hero runs out of mana they immediately return to one of their towns to replenish it, Mysticism is superior to Intelligence as long as the hero's average daily mana spending is less than 6 / 3.8 / 3 times their daily mana regeneration bonus from Mysticism respectively for Basic / Advanced / Expert Intelligence.

In simpler terms, Mysticism is preferable to Intelligence if on average, the hero spends at most 6 / 7.6 / 9 Shadow of Death (24 / 34.2 / 42 Horn of the Abyss) mana per day (for Basic, Advanced and Expert respectively, assuming Mysticism and Intelligence are at the same level of proficiency).

Obviously, these assumptions do not apply if the hero has easy access to wells, magic springs, the mana vortex or the Wizard's Well artifact.

In the traditional Heroes 3, Mysticism is usually ignored by players. There are opportunities to restore all mana points, namely Magic Wells and towns with a Mage Guild, and a Magic Spring or Mana Vortex in Dungeon will double them. However, on rare occasions when a map doesn't have many places to reload mana it can be useful (e.g. on the map Azure Dragons, the last scenario of Dragon Slayer campaign, Mage Guilds are absent in towns - while there is still a low possibility that you learn Mysticism, since you should win first three scenarios in order to proceed to the last one, and they aren't freebies, thus requiring Dracon to learn something stronger than Mysticism). In Horn of the Abyss Horn of the Abyss, Mysticism earns much more spell points, and on expert level it allows to cast some high-level spells every day.
