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]] will double them. However, Mysticism may be helpful to a secondary hero and won't be useless on a map without any source to reload mana (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.
