Circle of the Shaman

The shamans have dedicated their lives to the spirits of nature. These animalistic spirits now guide you offering wisdom, strength, and clarity during times of crisis. Shamans can use their powers to offer protection and healing to their allies as well as channel powerful spirits enabling them to deal immense damage or bolster their bodies. 

Companion Spirit
