For any magic using class does it make taking the advantage of 'the gift' mandatory. i.e. if you want to use magic you must take the gift?

cheers

While you "could" take a mystic class without the Gift, it would only give you the benefits of the class itself, none of the magic. If you want to be able to cast spells, you have to take the Gift. There's no way around it. Just as Psychics have to spend CP to be allowed to purchases access to one discipline or all of them.

thanks for clarifying that for me
