Soul Mage[edit]
In the realms where magic and mortality intertwine, few wield the ancient and forbidden arts as effectively as the Soul Mage. These enigmatic spellcasters draw upon the raw essence of life itself, harnessing the power of souls to alter reality, manipulate fate, and obliterate their foes. With an insatiable hunger for knowledge and power, Soul Mages tread a fine line between savior and destroyer, exploring the depths of necromancy and the mysteries of the afterlife.
