Details about The Mystic prior to her removal have been saved for posterity.
 
==Removal Details==
 
As of 19 January 2012 The Mystic is no longer in the game, but Jay added that she might return later.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-progress-report-2 Diablo 3 Progress Report] - Blizzard, 19/1/2012</ref>
 
<blue>
The design team is currently looking at systems and cleaning them up, removing any superfluous system objectives and those that are beyond fixing. Thus, we're removing the Mystic artisan. As we look at the big picture, the Mystic simply wasn’t adding anything to our customization system. Enhancement was really just the socket and gem system with a different name, and it would prolong the release of the game even further to go back to the drawing board and differentiate it, so we’ll revisit the Mystic and enhancements at a later time. Removing her from the game took some time, but it’s nowhere near the efforts that would be required to flesh out a better customization system. We hope she’ll be able to join your caravan in the future, but for now we’re going to focus on the extensive customization options the game already offers.

When asked what happens to her enchants Blizzard confirmed:<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/the-fate-of-enchants-and-socketable-rings The Fate of the Mystic's Enchants] - Blizzard, 28/1/2012</ref>
 
<blue>Oh right, uh, as far as I know the mystic enchants are just being put into the item [[affix]] pool, not gems. Might change. We’re still working on adding affixes, cutting ones that don’t work, and testing. No major changes for gems, though.</blue>
 
==Details==
 
[[File:Mystic-concept1.jpg|frame|Mystic concept and in-game art.]]
The '''Mystic''', Myriam Jahzia, is one of the three [[Artisans]] introduced in Diablo III. Like the [[Blacksmith]] and the [[Jeweler]], the Mystic is located in the [[Caravan]] area, which moves with the character between each act.
She's lost the ability to create [[scrolls ]] or [[potions]], she no longer crafts weapons or runes, and [[charms ]] are out of the game. What she do is she She now enchants weapons, armor, and jewelery. 
As of 01-19-2012 The Mystic is no longer in the game, but Jay added that she might return later.

==Enchanting Items==
Though the variety of enhancements is very extensive, there is not yet a complete list, however, files datamined from the beta <ref>[http://wwwdiablonut.diablonutincgamers.com/2011/item-list/mystic -formula List of Mystic Enchantments] - DiabloNut.Com</ref> show a great deal of them] which are subject to change. [[Training]] the Mystic to higher levels enables her to learn more enchants works just like training up the [[Blacksmith]] or [[Jeweler]]; it costs lots of [[gold]], lots of [[materials]], and dozens of [[books of training]], but it's necessary as they learn more varied bonuses to impart.
==Mystic's Wagon==
[[File:Mystic-wagon1.jpg|left|thumb|175px|Initial wagon concept.]]
Concept art for her wagon was shown in the [[Crafting Sanctuary]] panel at Blizzcon 2010. The basic concept was of a wagon and accouterments accoutrements with a rounded, organic shape, to make it stand apart from the [[Blacksmith]]'s wagon, which as a very rectangular shape, outlined with rigid, gleaming metal and ornamented with dozens of weapons and shining pieces of armor.
Like the other Artisans, the Mystic can be leveled up ten times, and her wagon changes graphics with each level.
