Spatial Stratimancer

The Spatial Stratimancer is an artificer who views the world as a structure of vectors, layers, and patterns. Through engineered arcane interfaces, you project large three dimensional maps of terrain you have explored. These projections can display elevation, hazards, and movement paths that you have personally observed.

Your signature tools are Rune Anchors. These are remote constructs that you can place in any location you have seen or mapped. You can activate them from any distance to influence the battlefield. Rune Anchors allow you to shape movement, create cover, distract enemies, or signal allies with engineered precision.

Your mind processes combat as a shifting geometric puzzle. With heightened perception and analytical insight, you anticipate enemy movement, identify hazards, and coordinate allies with exceptional clarity. You are not a frontline warrior. You are the architect of the battlefield who bends space, structure, and strategy to your will.
