(SETTING NOT FULLY DEVELOPED) MC Origins: enchantress (5e Class)

Enchantress

while name would suggest that only female origins would be enchantresses, this term is only used to diferentiate from enchanters, a person who knows how to operate enchanting table to make magical weapons. Enchantresses, on the other hand, can't do so- at least, not permenently. In their blood runs magic of the creation, and enchantresses can use it to temporarily enchant whatever they touch, and then unleash that magic from the item. Enchantreesses are born, not made- and they are mostly descendants of enchanters, whose blood is often exposed to the magic of enchanting, allowing enchanting magic to desend more potently in their heritage.

Magic in the new way

Obeying no known law of magic, enchantresses use power of their blood and innate magic to create enchanted items to help them in or outside of combat. As their magic is imbued into the items, enchantress can then use this item as a focus to channel that energy into a magical spell- or sometimes into something unique.

Creating a Enchantress

When you are making an Enchantress, you have to think how did one of your parents (or maybe both) became enchanters, and which tradition did they follow. Being an enchanter is not an easy post and is not easily achiveable either, so your parents were probably a high-ranking people in society or became ones when they became enchanters. You can also come up with how were your enchanter parent gifted an ability to manipulate magic in their limited way, or how did it manifest. In addition, determine how did enchanting magic manifest into you. Did it happen randomly, were you trained relentlessly to show off if you had the gift, or did some traumatic event broke your magic loose?
