Eclipse Knight

An eclipse knight is a warrior trained from a young age to incorporate the natural flow of magic through one’s body and to use it in combat to great effect. They can slip in and out of their stances with ease and gain control of the battle with their versatility. Elite Alban Knights are trained in this way with the expectation that they become generals and tacticians. This connection comes with heightened sense and reflexes.
