Songs have a magical ability to transport us to certain times and places, and there are few things that evoke the feeling of summer quite like the perfect summer song. The right combination of melody, lyrics, and rhythm can instantly conjure images of sandy beaches, warm sunsets, and carefree days. These songs have a way of casting a summer spell, making us feel like we're on vacation even if we're stuck in an office or at home. One song that perfectly captures the essence of summer is "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Released in 1991, this nostalgic hip-hop track is all about the joys of summer, with lyrics like "Here it is the groove slightly transformed / Just a bit of a break from the norm." This song effortlessly transports listeners to a beach party, complete with barbecues, dancing, and good vibes.
Edit2: About components: Once the list is complete we can track everything that is expensive component wise. Right now Mystic has a hidden class feature called "Free Spell focus that you can't lose". It works like a cleric effectively. As far as somatic goes,.it's like he got part of the war caster feat. Verbal is the big one. So I think looking at expensive materials and a discussion of no verbal requirement is where the big discussion is.
If a group comes upon an encampment shrouded in dense opalescent fog and they have a wizard with them that recognizes this as a Mystic Mist spell, how does one circumvent the spell.

Mystic "Spells"
I've started this, becuase I want to see how it actually stacks pound per pound, assuming that 2/3/5/6/7 psi is equivalent to 1-5 level spells. I think this will allow us to compare more easily. The weight of things like components can then be judged on class ability vs class ability.
I've done two disciplines.
Adaptive Body
- Environmental Adaption (1st equiv) = Endure Elements(1), the same, but no ritual options. +1 Core
- Adaptive Shield (2) = Absorb Elements (1) from EE. +1 core, cheaper.
- Energy Adaption (3) = Protection from Energy (3).
- Energy Immune (5) = Actually has a 6th level.equivalent in EE that is more powerful, fair trade.
Beastial Form
- Claws = Inflict wounds minus 1d10 at equivalent
- Transformation has a combining advantage at higher levels hard to factor in.they also lack concentration and last longer which is a boon on several of these.
- Tough Hide(1)= Shield of Faith(1)
- Flight (3) = Fly (3), but mage can affect multiple and fly faster
- Amphibious(1) = Underwater Breathing (3) but underwater breathing can be cast as a ritual.also, applies to more people
- Climbing (1) = Spider climb(2) but without the stick.surfaces. Swimming doesn't have an equivalent, but I put it on level with climbing. I call that fair.
- Perfect Senses(2) = See Invisibility (2), but see invisibility doesn't have a 5 foot limit.
- Keen Senses (1) = No direct equivalent, But Enhance Ability covers all wisdom as a level 2.
In conclusion, I think huge swaths of these abilities have a spell equivalent, or nearly. If everyone does a couple, we can have an effective 'spell list'., this will help us judge. Instead of asking for dumps, we may ask for psi point adjustments.
In my two examples, the first clearly favors core classes, save for one insane ability. The second, tends to favor the mystic heavily due to the lack of concentration on transformation. However, excluding that, only Amphibious is really a power differential. And it's not entirely slanted one way. Inflict is superior to claws.
Edit: Becuase we are mostly interested in major differences, as they Come in, I will compile the big outliers worth deeper examination.
Adaptive Body - Energy Immune
Bestial Sense - Transformation
Psionic Restoration - Revivify

Lines like "Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama / Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go" paint a picture of an unforgettable summer adventure. One song that captures the carefree and youthful spirit of summer is "School's Out" by Alice Cooper. This classic rock anthem from 1972 celebrates the end of the school year and the beginning of summer freedom. The energetic guitar riffs and rebellious lyrics make you want to jump out of your seat and embrace the summer sun. No list of summer songs would be complete without "California Gurls" by Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg. Released in 2010, this pop anthem is a tribute to the California lifestyle and all its sun-soaked glory. The catchy chorus and upbeat tempo of this song perfectly capture the feeling of cruising down the coast with the top down and the wind in your hair. In conclusion, summer songs have a unique ability to transport us to a sunny, carefree state of mind. Whether it's the smooth vibes of "Summertime," the tropical paradise of "Kokomo," the youthful energy of "School's Out," or the California dream of "California Gurls," these songs all cast a summer spell that makes us long for warm days and fun adventures. So put on your favorite summer playlist and let the music take you away to a sunnier place..

1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really looking forward to "Songs that cast a summer spell," but I was disappointed. The songs all sounded the same, with repetitive melodies and generic lyrics. I was hoping for something more unique and memorable. Overall, I found the album to be quite forgettable and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. John - 2/5 stars - I found "Songs that cast a summer spell" to be boring and unoriginal. The melodies were predictable, and the lyrics lacked depth. It felt like the artist wasn't putting much effort into the album. There are so many other summer-themed albums out there that are much more enjoyable and worth listening to. I would pass on this one.
3. Emily - 3/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Songs that cast a summer spell," but it fell short for me. While some of the songs had catchy hooks, most of them blended together and sounded too similar. I was hoping for more variety and experimentation with different sounds and genres. It's an okay album, but nothing exceptional or groundbreaking.
