So after a TPK we are restarting our antihero campaign. Im considering playing the wizard this time, i think im gonna go with Div or Enchantment depending if i go with human, half-elf or dhampir. But what I'm considering is using the Dark Gifts idea and using the symbiotic being option for a possessing spirit type thing like Lasciel from Dresden Files or Xana from Dark Messiah. The clutch point of the back story is that spirit would be his source of learning magic. He's not having it bestowed on him like a sorcerer or making any kinds of deals like a warlock but he ends up getting the spirit by accident ala dresden files, and the spirit to help him survive and help achieve its ends teaches my character the basics of spellcasting. I also thought as an RP element that the spirit helps him write and memorize spells and if he pisses the spirit off maybe his spellbook likes like gibberish or having to communicate with the spirit is how he prepares spells and doesnt have a traditional spellbook? Thoughts?
