Devotee
"Less studying, more practicing! Magic doesn't just magically happen!"
- The Honorable Grandmaster Alchemist Sir Zebulon Markus Benjamin Mercury Atticus Troubador Fizzbang the 27th, Representative of the Archmage Council
Background
Devotees are those who are devoted to the practice and perfection of soul magic. This could be from being sent to a magic academy, being mentored by a shaman, or simply years of solitary practice. Devotees have many different motivations and outlooks on their skills, but what they share is an abundance of experience and an impressive consistency with soul magic.
Many devotees are natural adventurers, as most ordinary parts of society fail to make full use of their powers. Many who grow up honing their skills in soul magic end up feeling "too big" for their societies - this leads many to either crave more power or search for better ways to use it. Many also take up a religious calling, or they are sought out by a religious cause due to their powers. One way or another, they tend to command respect.
