If you take Connection Inkling, and select Mystic Cure, can you cast higher levels of Mystic Cure than 1st, from a Spell Gem/Chip?
You don’t need to know the spell within a spell gem to use it, but the spell must be on your class’s spell list (or have otherwise been added to your spell list) and you must have a high enough key ability score to cast it.
If a low level mystic were to try to cast a high-level mystic cure from a spell gem, would it work? It only says 'the spell must be on your class’s spell list' and 'You must have a high enough key ability score to cast it'. Assuming it refers to Wisdom for Mystics, and you do meet all the requirements, that should indicate you can cast a higher level spell, even though you don't know it.
As per the feat, you clearly gain a caster level, with an associated key ability score.
Your caster level is equal to your character level, and the key ability score for these spells is Wisdom.
This fills the second requirement, that you must have a high enough key ability score, as you need Wis 15 to even gain the feat.
So the only problem with whether or not the 1st level mystic cure gained from Connection Inkling qualifies as ALL levels of mystic cure, for the purposes of using a spell gem/chip.
