Dragonhelm
Knight of Solamnia
The mystic was also a class from Dragonlance. In the Dragonlance Campaign Setting sourcebook, the mystic was the divine counterpart to the sorcerer, and predates the favored soul. It gained a single domain, which helped to define the character. Prior to that, the mystic was more of a role in the Dragonlance: Fifth Age game. The Citadel Mystic prestige class in Age of Mortals represented the mystics who studied at the Citadel of Light.
Mysticism in Dragonlance is the "power of the heart." It deals with introspection into your own inner connection with the life energies of the world of Krynn. Sounds a bit like the Force, in some ways.
The Spheres of Mysticism (a throwback to 2e spheres) were all represented in 3.5 with domains. That being said, some of the spheres are pretty good correlations with psionics. Mentalism is telepathy, Sensitivity is clairsentience, and Channeling could be psychometabolism. It is possible that the 5e mystic could stand in for the Dragonlance class, but that may be a hard sell.
So yes, I think the name is great, but I will always associate that name with the Dragonlance class. Personally, I think psion is perfect. It's reminiscent of the psionicist, but is easier to say and a bit more fantasy-like. Sounds like "scion."
