Hobart opened Selena's letter again. The young girl was quite clever; seeing that Hobart had not refused her request to be her Mysticism mentor, she began asking him about certain Mysticism Knowledge.
But all her questions were things like how the Brown Star moved and what it represented, how the Red Star moved and how it should be interpreted.
Hobart smiled helplessly. This mentor doesn't know that stuff either!
Mysticism was actually divided into two kinds: Ordinary Mysticism and Extraordinary Mysticism.
"Ordinary Mysticism" was basically the Mysticism seen through the eyes of Ordinary people. Ordinary people's spirituality could also sense the existence of the mysterious world, but their perceptions were extremely vague, and they could only observe the surface of mystical phenomena.
Take Rituals, for example. If an ordinary person burned the correct herbs and recited the correct incantation, there was also a certain chance of receiving a response from a deity.
They would believe that the response came entirely from the herbs and incantation, and that those herbs could please the deity.
Extraordinary Mysticism, however, could explain the principles behind a Ritual. Herbs could only assist in establishing a passage to the Gate of the God Kingdom; the main factors were the supplicant's spirituality and incantation, which established the correct passage.
Only after a mystical connection had been formed with the Gate of the God Kingdom would the deity hear the prayer and respond through the established passage.
