You can use up to eight Mystic Arts at any given time due to the limited slots. To equip the subsidiary abilities on your character, navigate to the Develop tab from the in-game menu. From the Abilities section, select Mystic Arts and assign them in whichever slot you want.

To cast an active Mystic Art, click on the corresponding button (usually the number keys) on your keyboard or hold the right stick on the controller. Some of them are just passive abilities that will take effect without equipping. Movement abilities may have some different requirements to activate.
