Wrecking Mysticism, Mystical Tail, and Bonus Spells from your mystery

[Craig Tierney]

Wrecking mysticism replaces your bonus spells from your mystery with the feat Mystical Tail, giving you a number of 2/day spell likes. However, you can only have the Mystical Tail feat eight times. You get nine bonus spells. What happens once you've gotten the feat eight times? Do you get the rest of your bonus spells?

[Kalindlara]

Since it's a "can" effect, once you've chosen it eight times, you must choose the other option - receiving your mystery's bonus spell. ^_^

Note that you don't have to wait until your 9th-level spell to do so, either. (In fact, if you have an archetype that replaces one or more of your mystery spells, you won't always have the option.)

[Kohalu]

This doesn't work. You can't use Wrecking Mysticism to replace your bonus spell with a tail. Last line of the description: "You cannot replace a bonus spell granted to you by an oracle archetype with Magical Tail, even if it replaces a mystery spell."

Wrecking Mysticism (Kitsune)

Source PPC:DTT

A divine entity has blessed you with a source of eldritch power that erodes your fortitude, increasing by 50% the duration of any poison, sickened condition, or nauseated condition affecting you.

Whenever you would gain a mystery spell, you can gain Magical Tail as a bonus feat instead. Once this choice has been made, it cannot be changed. You cannot replace a bonus spell granted to you by an oracle archetype with Magical Tail, even if it replaces a mystery spell.

At 5th level, add minor image and ventriloquism to your list of spells known.

At 10th level, add magic jar to your list of spells known.

At 15th level, add project image to your list of spells known.

It's not granted by an archetype, it's granted by your mystery.

In fact, Kalindara even said that if an archetype replaces mystery spells, you don't have the option to replace those.
Your normal ones, though, can be replaced with tails.

[Kalindlara]

It works fine if you're a oracle with no archetypes. But if you're, let's say, a stargazer, then you can't replace faerie fire or guiding star. Your 10th-level bonus spell is fine to replace, though, since it wasn't replaced by your archetype. ^_^

It's pretty good if you are doing a double dip build with the Spirit Guide Oracle. Then you can just regain access to the sacrificed spells at level 4.

Oooh! I see, thanks for clearing that up.
