Base Class: Warlock
You have entered into a pact with a great Fungus, intertwining your life with it in exchange for power. The Fungus is a strange entity, neither animal nor vegetable. Tying your life to it changes you in peculiar ways as your body becomes substrate for its mycelium.
The alien will of the fungus is difficult to comprehend, but the deeper you go down this path, the more it makes sense/ Fungi may wish to grow and expand, revitalise the environment through decay, or carry our some other strange design. You may have tied yourself to a Fundus that is part of the natural cycle of life and death. Or perhaps you have given yourself over to the corrupted Pleurossa, taking on its vengeful mission to eradicate the floral dragons.

Starting at 1st Level, your spells leave an invisible trail connecting your targets to you and each other in a fragile network.
