If they were swift effects it would be balanced by the limited amount of terrain you could consume for the buffs and have much greater tactical benefit in the midst of combat.

I get that some are meant to be in anticipation of an upcoming engagement in the next room but I just seldom find uses for them. Most of the time the immediate effect will have more cumulative impact than a degrading potential buff. This seems to lead to some unfavorable tradeoffs I could buff myself/ally with bonus potential or I could just use that book to stun+heavy damage a target. They also don't scale with your potential I think so what you see is what you get. Swift Infusion abilities- Some infusions provide buffs, but these have two problems: they are on a limited duration and degrade the terrain you infused. It would have been nice if you could use actions to nullify it. Something I've been noticing is that Warriors have lots of tools for countering in-your-face enemies, hunters have tools to help deal with nasty ranged enemies, but mystics are kind of at a bit of disadvantage against their counterparts, because those units can infuse terrain you might have intended to use. Just a few humble suggestions:ĭisenchant- Maybe a skill that removes an enemy infusion.

Mystics are fun, but their abilities feel more situational than other classes and getting strong synergies takes more luck and effort because they level up slower and typically require a bit more 'setup' to play up their particular gimmick.
