Libermancer (5e Class)
Work In Progress |
Libermancer[edit]
A line has formed outside of the Library, filled with a cascade of injured journeymen and adventurers. One person having an arrow pierced into their thigh, the next having a bandaged-up right hand. One after the other, they go in, and seconds later they exit the Library, lacking any wounds or illness. Finally, the line stops, and a Kobold wearing a large-brimmed hat steps out of the local, shouting "That's it for the day, folks! Come back later!". Annoyed, the folks walk away. The Libermancer, after an hour of healing folk, is finally allowed to get back to his studies.
Stepping out of the dimly lit cavern, a ragged-dressed man cautiously walks out of a cave, using a carved slab of wood as a cane. He seems to carry with him a self-made leather-bound tome, each page sewn into it with dedication. From the dank cave, he wanders further into the Marshland, where he witnesses a Wyrmling hunting prey for, what he assumes, the first time in it's life. The Wyrmling blasts a wandering Deer with a deadly Frost Breath, freezing it solid. Then, the Wyrmling takes it's hunt away from the scene. The ragged man notes this down in his tome, writing in runes and Common to create a mishmash of a magical code. Suddenly, he emits a similar blast from his very fingertips, albeit weaker than the Wyrmling had done. This, he thought, was enough to work off of.
Libermancy[edit]
Many common folk find it easy to confuse the art of Libermancy and Wizardry; They are both casting spells written into books, and usually allow for versatile magical effects. However, a key difference in these two schools of thought is the difference of Flexibility and Power. While Wizards, when they get stronger, can cast greater, more grandiose incantations, Libermancers are granted abilities which allow them to be more useful with spells; Whether it be with having a vast amount of cheap, easy-to-use spells ready at a moment's notice, or learning and noting down spells as they go, or even adjusting their spells mid-cast to volatile effect, it is quite cumbersome trying to predict just what a Libermancer has up their sleeve. Or, rather, in their tome.
Creating a Libermancer[edit]
When you decide to make a Libermancer, you must first decide some important things; The most essential one, is how did you decide to become a Libermancer? What was that main, driving event which lead you to studying Libermancy, instead of Wizardry, or another form of magic? Were there any important mentor figures, or was it through self-study which drove you to learn and grow? Something equally important, is where you keep your Magical Notes. Typically, they would be in a book of some kind, but they can be formed in any sort of way, as long as you can read words put into it, and write words into it.
