Spellhowler

Spellhowler


Among the storytellers and actors, spellhowlers were those who glorified the villains that sought power at any cost. Their nuanced art may have earned them curses from the crowd, but their audiences were ensnared no doubt. They found that they could convincingly stir fear and dread in the hearts of those that witnessed their performances and soon discovered ways to extend the uses of their skill. Spellhowlers don't just howl, but croon, screech, and even whisper, to instill doubt and mistrust among their opponents.

Spellhowlers are master manipulators. They usually wouldn't place themselves in the midst of the action, since they do not excel at combat. Instead, they'd be found along the fringes, slinging hexes and curses at their enemies, weakening them for their allies to pick their targets off. They chip away at the courage of their enemy, stripping them of the motivation that had spurred them on towards their goals. With a spellhowler as your ally, you will see even the seemingly mightiest enemies whittle and wither away in self-doubt.

Specializations

Trickster: Those who are impacted by the users highest rank possible debuffs spell receive a minor physical weakness and a minor magical weakness of the spell’s element/s, this effect lasts as long as they sustain the spell on the target, or until the target receives an other-buff of the same base rank.
