The mystical '''Shaman''' class was born in 288 AF when [[Firefox|Firefox Sly]] opened the Shaman's Guild to the world.
:''This page is about the class. For the House, please see [[Spirit Walkers]].''


Fiercely spiritual and reclusive, Shamans practise the art of [[Curses]], through which they can hex their opponents with a number of debilitating afflictions. They are also formidable foes from afar for they can craft [[Vodun]] [[dolls]] and manipulate others, breaking limbs, causing bleeding, paralysing, even utterly obliterating their enemies from a distance. A Shaman is a slippery opponent in combat, and once one has gained a full likeness of you, extremely difficult to overcome.

Their studies of cryptic [[runes]] have also enabled them to sketch them with various powers upon the ground, upon themselves and others, and upon [[armour]] and [[weapons]] to strengthen them. Most importantly, they may sketch multiple runes upon [[totems]], which can then be wielded or implanted into the ground for protection. These are a valuable commodity to those who wish increased protection for their property, so those skilled enough in [[Runelore]] to produce them are valued as well.
The enigmatic ritualists called Shamans hail from the wintry northernlands of [[Hashan]]. The class was born in 288 A.F. of the modern age, when [[Firefox|Firefox Sly]] opened the [[Spirit Walkers|Shaman's]] [[Guild]] to the world. Drawing their strength from the darker side of mysticism, the class of Shamans is not inherently aligned with any ethos. However, they tend to draw those who embrace the secrets of the shadows more readily than the light.

Fiercely spiritual and reclusive, Shamans practice the art of Curses, through which they can hex their opponents with a number of debilitating afflictions. They are formidable foes even from afar, for they can craft Vodun dolls and manipulate others, breaking limbs, causing bleeding, paralysing, even leech experience from a distance. A Shaman is a slippery opponent in combat, and once one has gained a full likeness of you, extremely difficult to overcome.
 
Forsaking their ties to the earthen magics, Shamans embrace the power of Spiritlore, allowing them to seek out and bind long-lost spirits into their body. These spirits grant a multitude of new powers, as well as augment their existing abilities in Vodun and Curses.
 
The skills of a Shaman are [[Vodun]], [[Curses]], and [[Spiritlore]]. A fledgling Shaman gains Spiritlore and Curses, while Vodun is gained upon embracing class.
