'being mystical' is the definition.

'a stupid lout possesses little capacity' is the wordplay.
'a stupid' is an anagram indicator (in a stupid order).
'possesses' is an insertion indicator.
'little capacity' becomes 'cc' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'lout' with letters rearranged gives 'oult'.
'oult' placed around 'cc' is 'OCCULT'.

'for' is the link.
