Soul-WaveRider[edit]
Shimmering appears as a crescendo of lights rise from the body of a human teetering on the brink of life or death. Darkness clouds the eyes of an elf who steps over the body of a fallen friend and with a single touch of a finger makes the culprit crumble to the ground. Rushing past the legs of enemies and allies a halfling comes to the aid of a fallen friend and with gentle attention helps them back to their feet. A Soul-WaveRider has learned the secrets of the soul and holds the scales of life & death in their hand. With or without magic they tip the scales of fate to their will and determine whether a creature lives or dies. Their magic has roots in the very fabric of creation bringing them to the crossroads of destiny.
Essence Feeler[edit]
Through study and training a Soul-WaveRider has honed their magic to help and heal all those around them. Drawing from a pool of healing magic SoulRiders can channel life through their touch. They can extend their own soul to help friends, and with quick hands they can patch up those in need.
