It is very important to master this mechanic if you want to play the dervish effectively. As explained in the overview the main fighting style of the dervish is the teardown mechanic, using flash enchantments as feeders and scythe attacks to remove them and increase the power of their attacks. The dervish is a melee fighter that primarily wields the scythe. There are a few healing skills, but healing is best left to dedicated professions.

While most of the dervish's attack skills can be found in Scythe Mastery, Mysticism offers a further three: Aura Slicer, Banishing Strike and Mystic Sweep. The 2 non-elite IAS stances of the dervish, Heart of Fury and Pious Fury are also found in Mysticism. The flash enchantments in Mysticism are mostly offense oriented, be it through damage from conditions or allowing teardowns to be used more often via energy management and adrenaline management. Mysticism skills are primarily designed to offer further energy management and support the offense of the dervish. In PvE it also provides an armor bonus if you are enchanted.
