In the traditional Heroes 3 Mysticism is usually ignored by players. There are opportunities to restore all mana points, namely Magic Wells and towns with a Mage Guild, and a Magic Spring will double them. However, Mysticism may be helpful to a secondary hero and won't be useless on a map without any source to reload mana (e.g. on the map Azure Dragons, the last scenario of Dragon Slayer campaign, Mage Guilds are absent in towns - while there is still a low possibility that you learn Mysticism, since you should win first three scenarios in order to proceed to the last one, and they aren't freebies, thus requiring Dracon to learn something stronger than Mysticism). In Horn of the Abyss , Mysticism earns much more spell points, and on expert level it allows to cast some high-level spells every day. Mysticism is one of those secondary skills, that have a good idea but the execution fails. A hero with Expert Mysticism gains four spell points per day, which is the same amount of points a hero with Mystic Orb of Mana (a treasure class artifact) would gain. The only situation mysticism could be useful, is in maps with long traveling distances or maps with no magic wells or mage guilds to recharge spell points. However, these are rare occasions, of which the Dragon Slayer campaign might be one. In conclusion, mysticism is just not worth spending one of eight possible secondary skill slots.
