Path of the Vengeful Spirits

Some barbarians hail from cultures that collect those who've died in battle such as shrinking their heads or magically assimilating them into their own body. These cultures teach that the warriors of the past linger in the world as spirits. These Barbarians learn to capture the Spirits with internal magic called a Soul Repertoire. When a barbarian who follows this path rages, the barbarian summons the spirits they've captured into physical being.

Barbarians who draw on these spirits can rage through the battlefield growing stronger the longer a large-scale battle goes on. In order to tie the spirits to you, these barbarians undergo a trial, that includes the combination of multiple alchemical components being ingested, which brings them to a state between the living and the dead. The consequences of this trial show themselves as the barbarian gets downed in combat, and the spirits attached to them will try to take the barbarian's spirit to wander with them.
