Unearthly Genius
Mystics dedicate their lives to becoming one with higher
powers, whether that’s a specific god, another plane, or
simply inner enlightenment. Their path to this transformation
allows them to naturally tap into powers of the mind few can
fathom, but if their skill is great, they will sometimes attract a
Genius.
Genii are ethereal spirits from other planes who will bond
to mystics and not only increase their power, but influence
how their psychic abilities manifest. Mystics familiar with this
phenomenon will often try to attract a particular Genius,
while others are taken by surprise when the bond occurs.
You may select the Genius you want to bond with, or you
(or the Dungeon Master) may use the following table to select
one for you.
