Spirtualist

Spiritualists are the 4th most common class after mages, rogues, and Fighters. Where Mages manipulate reality via the Domains, Spiritualists draw their power externally, through belief or a pact with a spirit. This source is chosen at first level and determines the subsequent powers as the Spiritualist grows. The Various sources and subclasseswill be displayed below   Basic: A new member of the class will have only control of light magic before choosing a source.    
Subclasses
Clerics: Clerics venerate the gods and are granted slight control over the domain their chosen god rules over. Common to all clerics are powers over light, protection, and healing, however, the vast majority of their power is related to their patron's role in their world.     Druids: Druids are Spiritualists who listen to the world and its needs. They have mastery over plants and beasts, storms and stars. Some can shapeshift into animals, others can command the land around them to attack. Druids often focus on a habitat to adapt their abilities towards.

  Imagination Channelers: Often embraced by the youngest of the class, This subclass is the only one capable of generating new spirits rather than taking what is out there. They create imaginary friends and allies, giving them power over minds, force and whatever powers they imagined their friend as having. this subclass starts slow but can raise to some incredible heights.

  Pact-Bound: A Pact-bound spiritualist has made a magical contract with a spirit to gain abilities reminiscent of their originator. the warlock gives a fraction of their magical power every day to feed the spirit and keep them bound. The Spirit will usually protect their host to make sure they don't lose their food source. Hosts may let go of spirits to bind new ones, however, this can go wrong if the spirit is much stronger than the host.
