Mystic adepts study the hidden geometry behind reality. They shape spells through disciplined gestures, open portals across impossible distances, and step into a mirrored echo of the world where thought can bend terrain. At the highest levels, a rare time relic lets its bearer resist, glimpse, and briefly revise the flow of events. Their niche is flexible arcane control and repositioning, paid for with spell slots and carefully limited defensive tricks.
Open the way. Bend the reflection. Guard the moment.

Fractured Moment
Hit die d8
Intelligence
ConstitutionYou gain spellcasting, a mystic focus, and the ability to inscribe your known class spells in a spellbook or equivalent set of diagrams. You can use the class spell list and prepare spells as described in Spellcasting or Powers.
As a Bonus Action, spend a 1st-level or higher spell slot to open a paired doorway to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet; a willing creature can move between the doorways as part of its movement. The portals last until the start of your next turn, and the doorway cannot pass through a solid barrier.
You learn to step into a nearby reflected echo of the world. As a Bonus Action, expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to enter the Mirror Dimension until the start of your next turn; while there, you are heavily obscured from creatures outside it and can move through other creatures’ spaces, but not solid objects. You return to your departure space or the nearest unoccupied space; using this feature again before finishing a Long Rest costs a slot one level higher.
Choose a subclass: Gatekeeper, Mirror Architect, or Chronal Keeper. Your choice grants features at levels 3, 6, 10, and 14.
You gain an additional prepared class spell and can perform the Somatic components of your spells while holding your mystic focus.
Ability Score Improvement
When you use Paired Gate, its range increases to 60 feet, and one willing creature you can see within 5 feet of you may travel through each portal without spending movement.
Your subclass grants a feature.
Once per turn when a creature you can see within 30 feet makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can use your Reaction to subtract 1d4 from the roll. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you enter the Mirror Dimension, you can bring one willing creature within 5 feet. While there, you can move through nonmagical terrain and leave it visibly warped until the start of your next turn; this does not damage creatures or structures.
Your subclass grants a feature.
When you cast a spell that targets only you, you can also target one willing creature within 5 feet, provided the spell can target a creature.
Ability Score Improvement
Once per Long Rest when you fail a saving throw, you can choose to succeed instead. After using this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
Your subclass grants a feature.
Your Paired Gate can connect two spaces you have seen within 300 feet, rather than requiring both to be within sight. The portals remain open until the start of your next turn.
Ability Score Improvement
When you enter the Mirror Dimension, you can bring up to six willing creatures within 5 feet. While there, you can reshape a 20-foot cube of nonmagical terrain you can touch into simple rises, trenches, or walls; the changes vanish when you leave.
When you roll Initiative and have no uses of Fractured Moment remaining, you regain one use. In addition, your Mirror Step no longer increases in slot cost when used repeatedly between Long Rests.
Ability Score Improvement and Epic Boon
Once per Long Rest when you or a creature you can see within 60 feet fails a D20 Test, you can turn that failure into a success. The affected creature then gains one level of Exhaustion.

ResourceSpell slots power your spells, Paired Gate, and Mirror Step. Fractured Moment uses are limited by your Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest; time-reversal features are separately limited as described.
MulticlassingPrerequisite: Intelligence 13. You gain Light armor proficiency and one skill proficiency from the class skill list. Spell slots follow the Multiclass Spellcaster rules; you prepare and learn Master of the Mystic Arts spells separately. Paired Gate, Mirror Step, and class features that expend spell slots use your own class slots.
You are a full spellcaster, using the 2024 spell-slot progression for a full caster.
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability; your spell save DC equals 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier, and your spell attack modifier equals your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier. You prepare spells from the class spell list after a Long Rest and use a mystic focus or spellbook of diagrams as your spellcasting focus. The spellList field is a curated thematic sample, not an exhaustive list; the DM should approve the full class list and spell preparation count before play.
A guardian of routes, thresholds, and safe passage.
A battlefield sculptor who makes the reflected world obey.
A custodian of one rare relic capable of bending time.
Mystic adepts study the hidden geometry behind reality.
They shape spells through disciplined gestures, open portals across impossible distances, and step into a mirrored echo of the world where thought can bend terrain. At the highest levels, a rare time relic lets its bearer resist, glimpse, and briefly revise the flow of events. Their niche is flexible arcane control and repositioning, paid for with spell slots and carefully limited defensive tricks.
You are a full spellcaster who controls space and creates tactical openings rather than relying on weapon damage.
Use Paired Gate to reposition allies, Mirror Step to evade danger, and your spells to control the battlefield; reserve Fractured Moment and your time-reversal features for decisive rolls. Your best turns often make an ally’s action safer or more effective.
Most practitioners begin as scholars, healers, or survivors of a magical crisis.
Training combines years of study, exacting hand forms, and supervised exercises in safe pocket reflections. A mentor typically grants a focus only after the student proves they can close a passage as reliably as they can open one; time relics are exceptionally rare and never part of ordinary initiation.
Ordinary people are often grateful for a practitioner who can evacuate a street or seal a supernatural breach, but portals and time magic inspire suspicion.
Some communities treat these adepts as honored protectors; others fear that every rescue has quietly rewritten something.
