Mystic Arts represent magic in the game, as Pagus puts it, "it's a way to channel energy through your weapon, with fantastic results". Rush learns these by acquiring special items, other characters can either start with them or, in the case of unique leaders, can learn one or more of them at specific BR levels. Learning a Mystic Art grants access to its lowest rank art, which has to be used in order to unlock the more powerful ones. To find out how this works, see Developing Arts.

There are two ways to use an Arcana:
- Once you have learned an Arcana it can be used by the union leader when there are two additional units capable of (any) mystic arts in the same union. Triggering an Arcana this way has specific requirements (usually more enemy groups than your unions for attack and low health on several unions for Rejuvenating Water). The only exception is Crimson Flare. This Arcana must be cast using the force-trigger method.
- You can also force-trigger any Arcana by using one of the Skill combinations used for learning it. On the PC this is more reliable than hoping for the first method when you deactivate the other skills.
- Important: Note that you still need to have the AP required to cast the Arcana, otherwise the individual arts will be used instead.
