Name :: Shaman
Skillset :: Unarmed, Elemancy, Divination

Description :: Her fists a blur as they deflect an incoming hail of arrows, a wood elf springs over a barricade and throws herself into the massed ranks of hobgoblins on the other side. She whirls among them, knocking their blows aside and sending them reeling, until at last she stands alone. Taking a deep breath, a human covered in tattoos settles into a battle stance. As the first charging orcs reach him, he exhales and a blast of fire roars from his mouth, engulfing his foes. Regardless of their beginnings and style of combat, all Shamans have but one thing in common: their preference to fight unarmed, their proficiency in working with the elements and their spirituality.

The first Shamans date back to the origins of Sosaria. Long before weapons had reached the lethality of current times, many chose the path of barehanded combat. With neither weapon nor shield, the origins of the Shaman class are shrouded with grueling training of both the mind and body. The one who started the lineage of Shamans as we know it would be an ancient Valen by the name of Isaac Ironborn. It is said that his deep connection with the Goddess Terra and relentless honing of his physical prowess wasn't enough, thus he created the skill of Martial Arts and used it to amplify his power. Legends assert that no weapon forged could pierce his muscles.

Class Abilities:

Empath
You possess a connection with the world around you and all who dwell within it. You subconsciously take in their emotions without even realizing it. Anger, hatred, despair, joy, anxiety... The full spectrum of emotions radiate from the beings around you and you are receptive to them. This allows you to determine if someone is a threat, requires help, is lying and more. Not only that, you are also able to sense their very presence based on where those emotions are emanating from. The range is determined by your level of skill with this ability.

Meditated State
Through years of meditation, you have achieved a meditated state. You are able to resist the effects of any spell, technique or effect which targets your mind. This does not, however, make you invulnerable to such things. Your level of skill with this ability determines the level of mind or illusion related effects you are able to withstand or see through. If its level is greater than your level in this ability, it will successfully take effect.

Iron Muscles
You've trained your entire life to fortify your body. Not only that but your mind and body are closely intertwined and have each been honed to their fullest capacity. It is thanks to your extensive training that you're able to take far more damage than your ordinary fighter. Things such as poisons, diseases, physical attacks or even spells can be endured depending on one's level in this ability.

Divine Sense
Master level Shamans are able to passively sense anima and mana with pin-point accuracy anywhere within a certain distance, including underground. Their perception is a complete sphere. This is not limited to simply detecting sources of anima or mana, however, but to discern the source of the energies and who/what they are. This ability may also be used in conjunction with Unarmed moves to strike one's opponent in various points throughout one's system, stopping the flow of mana and anima. This can either be used to prevent one's opponent from utilizing moves or spells, or even to go as far as to temporarily disable their ligaments due to lack of sufficient anima. It can also be used to detect those under the effects of a spell, as well as the inner workings of said spell. The range of this ability is determined by one's level with it.

Beginner - 3 Meter Radius
Novice - 6 Meter Radius
Adept - 9 Meter Radius
Advanced - 12 Meter Radius
Expert - 15 Meter Radius
Master - 18 Meter Radius
Legendary - 21 Meter Radius

Advanced Elemancy
While other Shamans trained their minds and bodies, you embraced the elements. You learned how to not only evoke their power but to surpass even that of the greatest of Elemancers. You are able to learn one extra element on top of the limit imposed by your Elemancy skill. You may also learn an Advanced Element of your choosing, your skill with which will be determined by your skill in Advanced Elemancy (this ability).

Beginner - Beginner Level in Advanced Element
Novice - Novice Level in Advanced Element
Adept - Adept Level in Advanced Element
Advanced - Advanced Level in Advanced Element
Expert - Expert Level in Advanced Element
Master - Master Level in Advanced Element
Legendary - Legendary Level in Advanced Element

Anima Manipulation
This ability allows you to manipulate the flow of anima. Using it, one may drain the anima of any living thing and even attacks. For example, should someone try to punch you and your skill level in this ability exceeds the power of their punch, you may either absorb the anima of the attack, divert it or even reflect it back via the point of impact. The level of beings and attacks you're able to affect with this ability are outlined below. There are limits to this, however, as you must be aware of the attack or presence of the being affected, you must make physical contact and your Perception stat must also exceed the Speed of the attack.

Beginner - Beginner Level
Novice - Novice Level
Adept - Adept Level
Advanced - Advanced Level
Expert - Expert Level
Master - Master Level
