Mythic Simple Templates
The following simple templates can be used to turn any monster into a mythic creature. A creature given one of these templates counts as a mythic creature for the purposes of spells, abilities, and magic items even though it doesn't have the mythic subtype. Note that because it doesn't have the mythic subtype, it doesn't gain the many benefits of having the mythic subtype—the creature only gains the benefits described in the simple template.

and the Arcane Template is as follow

Quote:


Arcane (MR 1 or 2, CR +1)
Creatures with the arcane template are infused with arcane power, capable of casting a limited number of arcane spells. If the creature has 11 or more Hit Dice, this simple template grants a mythic rank of 2 instead of 1. An arcane creature's quick and rebuild rules are the same.

Rebuild Rules: AC +2 deflection bonus; hp mythic bonus hit points; SR gains SR equal to its new CR + 11; Special Attacks mythic magic, simple arcane spellcasting.

and the text of mythic magic reading:

Quote:


Mythic Magic (Su): Up to three times per day, when the creature casts a spell, it can cast the mythic version instead (as with all mythic spells, the creature must expend mythic power to cast a mythic spell in this way).
Format: mythic magic 3/day; Location: Special Attacks.

my question is this: How does mythic magic work for an arcane creatures, since it has no mythic power?

Same question for the divine template.


The Arcane/Divive creature dose have "some" Mythic power, 3/day to cast spells.
It just dose not get other things like Mythic Surge, Mythic Feats, Mythic Damage Reduction... And so on... That you get with the Mythic Subtype.

I don't see anything that gives them mythic power. Feel free to point it out if I've overlooked something. It appears to me they are missing a necessary resource to use their mythic magic ability.
