Mystic’s Awakening is scheduled to be released on August 31st and additional information on the Mystic’s Awakening Weapon has been revealed in Black Desert Online KR. Along with three screenshots where the Mystic is walking on water, the Mystic’s Awakening lore and skills have been revealed.

The Mystic’s Awakening skills will allow her to attack a larger area with faster movements and some of her skills will give her more mobility while she uses them. It can be assumed that most of her skills will have graphical effects related to water, as the skill names include letters like “blue”, “current”, and “deluge”.

The Mystic’s Awakening weapon will also summon a water dragon to fight alongside the Mystic. Although some players had doubts about the quality of the dragon when the artwork was revealed, they are mostly satisfied with the in-game version of the dragon shown in the screenshots.

The video featuring the actual gameplay and combat of the Awakened Mystic, and whether she can actually walk on water, has not been revealed yet. Below is the translated Mystic Awakening lore and Awakening skill descriptions that were revealed in the GM’s Notes of August 28th.

Mystic Awakening Lore

In the middle of the sea, there were three twisted trees.

Some say they are simply a mirage brought about by the sea fog. An illusion. But one man thought differently. Covering his face with a large hat, he told the people on his ship a story.

The story of the three dragons who created the world.

“Once upon a time, the Golden Dragon who flew the highest created the sky, the Night Dragon created the earth, and the Blue Dragon gifted the world with water; the result was a paradise. When the Dragons appear in the middle of the sea like a mirage, they foretell of turmoil or an immense change.”

As the story ended, the ship I was on crashed with a rock and was wrecked.

Was this punishment for betraying my teacher? The accident happened on the second day since I left the Eastern Land to return to my hometown. I was sinking ceaselessly to the bottom of the water, in an ocean where even the smallest islands don’t exist.

Inside the dark and cold ocean, I was losing my breath and about to give up on everything. At that moment, a strong, blue ray of light pierced my closed eyes. The light grew stronger, and my mind was awakened.

The light was coming from a blunt gem that I carried with me. When I was young, on the day I left for the far Eastern Land with my teacher, someone gave me the gem. The thing that I assumed to be a stone released a dazzling blue light that drove away the pitch black of the sea.

I had always wondered about the identity of the man who gave me this gem, and for what purpose he gave it to me.

And I could finally see who he was.

Vanha, one of the three dragons who created the Eastern Land.

I felt his mind and energy flowing inside me. My mind was never more bright and alive. I concentrated on the voice inside me, and I finally realized who I really was, after hearing Vanha’s story.

When Vanha’s story was coming to an end, my breath became short again, and my memory sunk into the water.

When I opened my eyes, I was in a shore. I had no memory of what had happened, but the refreshing energy flowing inside me was not gone.

When some time passed, I remembered everything about Vanha and began looking for him, following the last words he whispered to me inside the ocean depths.

“The blue eyes connected by fate will meet again in the tear of Vanha.”
