THE ZAELIAN RITUALIST

Some are born with Essence. Touched by the Brothers and marked for brilliance. Predestined to do great things. Others gain their Essence over time. A minor touch from a deity after a noteworthy deed. This Essence was always known as the lifeblood of magic in Zaelia, the lone path to the arcane. Until someone made a deal with the planet herself, and opened the door to a third type of arcana. Not of Vargen. Not of Bjornen. A strong power, borrowed from Mother Zaelia, and paid for in blood.

As a Main Profession, Ritualists can choose three LVL 1 skills. As a Secondary Profession, Ritualists can choose two LVL 1 skills. Secondary Ritualists are prohibited from LVL 3 and LVL 4 skills, while Main Ritualists have access to all available skills upon reaching the required XP mark.

Main Profession Ritualists begin at 0 XP with 7 points to HP/PP and 6 points to base traits.
