POWERS & WEAPONS
Master Mystic was able to travel between the material plane and the astral plane at will, being able to transcend both space and time itself. Furthermore, he was able to move unseen through the physical plane, he could levitate, communicate telepathically, subdue demonic creatures, turn into mist, materialize things out of thin air, and emit powerful mystical rays capable of dissolving the most resistant materials. These were just some of his abilities, since thanks to Avince's library and occult objects collection, John Stern had a mystical arsenal that was very difficult to quantify.
