Class Features
Druids of the Circle of Myth join this circle by bonding with a Mythic Beast of extraordinary power, becoming a Mythic Vessel for this creature. They then gain access to abilities for their wild shape that would be otherwise unreachable.
Forging a Mythic Bond
When you encounter a Mythic Beast there is a chance that you can form a Mythic Bond with it. Either by helping them, doing them a favour, enchanting them, or some other means this great creature has decided to bestow some of its power to you via your Wild Shape and connection to the natural world.
At 2nd level choose your Mythic Beast. Either one that you have met and dealt with previously or one that you are just encountering. This Beast is the baseline for your abilities going forward and shapes the forms you can take.
You may encounter other Mythic Beasts with which you want to forge a Mythic Bond. The ritual to forge a Mythic Bond with a new Mythic Beast takes 10 minutes and may have some specifics depending on the beast. You must be considered friendly by this creature and as long as you are compatible with this creature you will gain access to its power while you have that specific Mythic Bond active.
Switching Mythic Bonds
You may have bonds to more than one Mythic Beast however you cannot have more than one active at a time. During a short rest, you may switch your active Mythic Bond to that of another you have forged. This gives you access to that Beasts moves and forms until you decide to change it again.

Avatar Form
Starting at 2nd level, your Mythic Bond grants you the ability to transform into an avatar of your Mythic Beast using Wild Shape. This avatar does not have the full abilities or stats of the Mythic Beast but does not need to follow challenge rating limitations or movement limitations. For instance if your Mythic Beast has a swimming, flying, or climbing speed you can still transform into that Beast and utilize those movement speeds.

Beast Moves
Starting at 2nd level, you can wild shape using your bonus action instead of your action. Additionally, your Mythic Bond allows you to empower yourself and others. While transformed by Wild Shape you can expend charges of your wild shape to use a beast move from your beasts move list. Wisdom is your spell casting modifier for this. If you do not have any charges left you can choose to use the energy in your current form to power the beast move. If you do this then you revert back to your natural form at the end of your turn.
Your spell save DC is based on which form you are taking of the Mythic Beast.
