Clarity on Mystic - MIndbreaker

[Soulkeeper]

The Mindbreaker connection on Mystic states:

Spells: 1st—6th mind thrust; replaced by 1st—lesser confusion,
2nd—inflict pain, 3rd—synaptic pulse, 4th—confusion, 5th—

Forgive, but we don't seem to understand this. Do they not get Mind Thrust, or can they optionally use the other spells instead when desired?

[Garretmander]

At first level, they have mind thrust as their connection spell.

At fourth (2nd level spells), they have lesser confusion as their 1st level connection spell, and the second level version of mind thrust as their 2nd level connection spell.

At seventh they have lesser confusion as 1st, inflict pain as second, and mind thrust as 3rd.

The pattern repeats, mind thrust can be undercast.

Ah ok, thank you.

[Nerdy Canuck]

It's the same thing with the Healer connection - because Multilevel Spells include the lesser versions, they have to replace the lower level version when they give you the higher level one.
