College of Mystics
They say that seven gods live in one grain of rice and that a house is full of countless spirits, gods and other creatures. A Bard from the College of Mystics learns how to attune himself to the mysteries of the mundane and how to connect to the myriad of creatures that surrounds the mundane world. For a Bard from the College of Mystics, everyday life is just as interesting as a dungeon full of treasure or the ruins of a ancient city.

Mystical Trinkets
Starting at 3rd level, you can imbue a mundane trinket with mystical magic. As a bonus action on your turn, you can spend one use of your bardic inspiration to imbue a mundane trinket and gift it to anyone, including yourself, within 60 feet.
The trinket lasts until your next long rest, only the creature that the trinket was gifted to can use it and a creature can only be gifted one trinket per long rest.
When a creature uses the trinket, it can choose a semblance which the trinket represents. The trinket has an effect based on it’s semblance. The trinket can be used as a free action.

Whispers Of The Mundane
At 3rd level, you are in tune with the the mystical creatures that exist in all things and they can help you understand the world around you. As a result, whenever you make a Wisdom check, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1).
Commune With The Mundane
At 6th level, you learn how to commune with the small spirits, gods and creatures that live and hide in between the mundane world.
After performing a 1 hour ritual, you can call forth a Mystical Creature of the mundane. The creature can be a Emissary of a Tiny God, a Playful Trickster or a Mundane Spirit. The DM determines what type of creature will come forth after the ritual. The mystical creature can understand a language you speak, but it can’t talk. The Mystical Creature is tied to an object in the place or region where you performed the ritual and it is friendly to you and your companions.
The Mystical Creature vanishes if it’s Hit Points reaches 0, if it is more than 300 ft away from the object the spirit is tied to or if the object is destroyed. You can only summon one spirit at a time; if you perform the ritual again and already have a Mystical Creature summoned, the first one vanishes.
You can use this feature twice per long rest

Mystical Creatures
Mystical Creatures are magical beings that inhabit the mundane world and they are responsible for the magic and wonder of everyday life. A Mystical Creature is extremely attached to it's environment. For a Mystical Creature, that environment is his whole world. Even if they are friendly towards the player and his companions the creature still has his own goals and desires. Chwingas are a good example of how a Mystical Creatures may interact with people and the world.
