Hmm... the domains you have are going to be really different from the
normal domains, because you'll need to bootstrap the spells that you
know. So it probably makes sense to define them differently - as Custom
Abilities.
Give the Mystic 1 custom ability at all levels, and add one Mystic
custom ability for each domain that bootstraps the appropriate spell.
That way you don't have to worry about making the Mystic domains
overwrite the existing ones.
After that, I think everything else should be pretty simple.
Actually adding domains to custom classes currently isn't implemented
yet. The cleric was the very first class we added to Hero Lab, back when
we were showing off the first demos 18 months ago, and we didn't have
time to go back and rework it when we added custom abilities to classes.
At some point, cleric domains will probably change a bit, and become
just like custom abilities.
Hope this helps,
