Ki Mystic: Mystic Visions - how does this work?


Rules Questions


The monk ki mystic archetype replaces diamond body with this ability

Mystic Visions (Su)

At 11th level, a ki mystic may receive mystic visions when he rests. These visions can come as a dream, an epiphany, or even as the voice of an old friend whispering in the monk’s mind. The effect is similar to a divination spell with a caster level equal to the monk’s level. The divination has no casting time; it is just part of the normal dreams or visions that occur every night. Using this ability costs 2 ki points that are removed from the next day’s total.

This ability replaces diamond body.

This class feature seems very vague. It almost sounds like it is emulating a specific spell. If so, what spell effect is it emulating? If not, what does this ability do?


The spell it is emulating is the divination spell.


-_-

That wording is terrible.

All that needed to be done was:

The effect is similar to the divination spell with a caster level equal to the monk’s level.

I thought this was talking about the Divination school of magic as a whole.

Thanks for your help.


The word divination should be in italics to indicate that the word refers to the name of a spell. For some reason, on AoN, it is not. I don't know whether the same is true of the text in the Advanced Player's Guide.
