Mystic

Mysic concept and in-game art.

The Mystic is one of the three Artisans introduced in Diablo III. Like the Blacksmith and the Jeweler, the Mystic is located in the Caravan area, and handles various NPC merchant chores, including item sales and crafting requests.

All of the Artisans will be heavily involved in quests and the game's plot, even after the player completes the initial quests to get them to join up with his adventuring efforts.

Mystic Functions

The mystic handles various item-related functions, crafts staves and wands, identifies items, and more. The official description comes from the Caravan FAQ.

The mystic creates scrolls, potions, magical weapons, spell runes, and charms, and can also enchant items.

Like the other Artisans, the Mystic can craft items from recipes. Magical and rare Staves and Wands can be created this way. The Mystic can also identify items by performing a divinification upon them. It's not known if the Mystic is the only source of free identification; Deckard Cain is in the game, but perhaps he's grown too old or grumpy to perform this service? [1]

The Mystic's Story

Very little is yet known of the Mystic's character. Not even the character's name.

There was immediate speculation that Adria, largely-confirmed as a returning character, would be the Mystic, but this has not been confirmed. In fact, it seems to be argued against by a reference to the Mystic as a "he" in one German report from Gamescom. It's possible this was a transcription error, or a misheard gender reference, though. [2]

No details about the Mystic‘s quest or backstory, since it’s still being developed. Jay does definitely use the pronoun “he” to refer to the Mystic, which seems a blow to the speculation that this is where Adria returns.
