My personal feelign is that the orriginal question is eminently suitable for this group - basicaly how can someone, who has generated a Taraltaran Mystic according to the Hero Wars rules, play that character in Hero Quest.
What is off-topic for this group are esoteric discussions about the nature of Mysticism and how it might be treated in the rules, post-HeroQuest.
Unfortunately of course there is a crossover between these two topics.
I think the best answer is that the old Mysticism rules don't work, and if you do want to play a Taraltaran you're probably best off rewriting the character as a theist. Advice on how to do so would presumably e on-topic here.
