There are many paths to power a player can choose for their character. They are most easily grouped into two categories: spell casters and combatants.
Spell Casters
Spell casters wield powerful magic, which they use by casting spells. They come in several varieties, depending on where their magical abilities originate.
- Herald of the Integrum: These spell casters obtain their magic from the, granting them power over one of the Grand Designs of The Apparatus. They are rare and special because the Integral gods do not bestow their power lightly.
- Master of the Hidden Form: These spell casters obtain their magic through studying unfathomable mysteries at the Hall of Questions. They are rare and special because very few can study these mysteries with their sanity intact.
- Orison of the Fey Courts: These spell casters obtain their magic by forming a pact with one of the Strange Vestiges of the Arcadian Fey Courts. They are rare and special because the Fey Courts do not form pacts lightly.
- Cypher of the Order of Dreams: These spell casters are monks who obtain their magic through extreme rituals of sensory deprivation and mental torment that drive most insane. They are rare and special because very few survive the initiation rituals.
- Fury Sorcerer: These spell casters do not get their power from any external source; they are just born with it. They are rare and special because only the incredibly rare genasi race are born with these magical powers.
- Shadow Mage: These spell casters are masters of illusion and learn their magic by studying from demonic tutors. They are rare and special because very few people have access to a demon that aren't in its thrall.
Combatants
Combatants are dangerous in battle because of their personal strength, skill, or physical traits. They come in several varieties, depending on where their combat abilities originate.
