Homebrew Wispborn Species Details
Wispborn bear within their souls pure magic and fire. They are creatures born from humans forced to bear magical essence by the wisp Queen, an allmighty magical being. Wispborn are born to bring chaos to the world, or to play into the hand of the wisp Queen's plans. Their births often lied about by their human parent, or kept secret entirely. They are people feared by most, carrying the traits of pink patterns, eyes and fire. Those who do not fear them, praise them as the chosen children of the wisp Queen.
A wispborn is linked to their magical heritage by dreams, visages and the attraction to magical objects. Sometimes the connection is so strong they are not able to control themselves, and feel a hand forcing them to act without knowing it themselves, often leading to outbursts of raw magic.
