Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen changes
The Shaman
It is rumored that Shamans live in every age at once. To walk the path of the Shaman is to hear the voices of those who came before, to sense the movements of unseen forces, and to understand that every living thing on Terminus is shaped by its past.
Shamans possess a second sight that reaches beyond the present moment. Through this gift, they can discern the lineage of friend and foe alike. This knowledge may be offered as a boon, strengthening allies through ancestral favor and restorative magic, or turned against enemies as a bane, exposing weakness, burdening the spirit, or invoking maladies from ages past.
Yet the Shaman is also an intimate vessel of the elements of Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Animus and the Ancestral. The Shaman recognizes these elements as ancient powers with their own will; the oldest ancestors of all, bearing witness to the rise and ruin of countless worlds now bound to Terminus.
These elemental bonds allow Shamans to draw upon cleansing waters and ancestral spirits to protect, strengthen and restore life, or bend these elements into rites of disruption, weakening and ruin. They are both healers and manipulators of fate; able to both preserve the life of their allies or unravel their enemies by calling upon the forces that shaped them long before they ever drew breath.
