Description
Fanatics are known for their extreme zeal towards their patron. These cultists are willing to do anything for the cause, even if it means certain death. In fact, their extreme zeal allows them to channel their patron's magic to replenish their own arcane reserves or to unleash it a zealous outburst. In many extreme cases, fanatics have been known to sacrifice their victims in the name of the deity to grant themselves a surge of power
