In a great grassy meadow, the Elder Kai sits around looking at comics, and not much else, but he is more powerful than you may expect!
His menacing capacities can unlock your hidden powers!
To have your hidden powers unlocked like this, you must have at least 12'500 posts and +100 karma.
The awakening ceremony lasts a solid 30 complete posts, during which you must endure hours of boredom being rooted on the spot while Elder Kai does his thing. You can't leave, otherwise you have to start over.
Once it's over, you become a 'Mystic'.
As well as getting your stamina boosted hugely in general (about 1.5 times your pre-Mystic stamina), all your transformations (except Weakened) get a boost of +50%, but take 2500 posts longer to learn (all transformations with special conditions that become locked like this will need those conditions met all over again), and any special notes mentioning specific post counts (such as when you can control oozaru) are shifted 2500 posts later, too.
Note that because you're able to get such high power from such low forms, you consume less ki. In fact, if you're in 'Base' or '1st Form' you won't be requiring any ki at all!
150% with NO KI DRAIN! Cool, huh?
Note: The % at which a Full Power Changeling Form drops to Weakened is raised by 50%, so they still last the same amount of time.
Saiyans
For Saiyans with tails, their Base Form is 155% to balance with Majin Super Saiyan 2.
Downside to Insane Stamina Boost: Senzu Beans
Senzu Beans can only heal the physical wounds of a Mystic, whilst restoring only a tiny bit of stamina (about 20% of a non-Mystic's full stamina, or 10% from half a bean).
Note: Kaioken Posts are restored, as senzu beans will undo all the physical damage caused by the technique.
An Example of How Mystic Works
This is all a new system I came up with, so it might be a little complicated, sorry about that.
So I'll try giving an example...
Let's say Gohan, without a tail, had 12'530 posts when he became a Mystic.
He was, previously, able to use Super Saiyan 2, which is a 140% transformation.
But now, he has his Base Form at 150%, which is just a little below Super Saiyan 3 at 160%.
On top of that, because he's in Base, he can sustain this new 150% power at no ki cost.
Meanwhile, anyone else at his level is still stuck at 140%, and expends ki every post that they sustain that level of power.
Unfortunately... eventually, someone else can reach Super Saiyan 3, at 13'000 posts, unlocking 160%, while Gohan is still stuck at 150%.
By 13'500 posts, though, and a good dose of ANGER, Gohan reawakens his Super Saiyan transformation, which is 50%+120% = 170%! This puts him ahead of all the Super Saiyan 3s out there, and he can sustain his power better than they can.
If you still don't get it, just ask in the Help board.
Losing Your Mystic Powers
If your soul becomes tainted with -50 Karma, you lose your Mystic powers and return to using regular transformations.
This is the only way out.
Note that if you unlocked any major Mystic transformations, then upon returning to normal, you get the transformations 2 stages above them automatically unlocked for you upon your return to normal.
So if you unlocked Mystic Super Saiyan, you get Super Saiyan 3 for free when you lose Mystic.
