The Spiritual Artisan Monk is a master of harnessing spiritual energy to craft weapons on the fly and manipulate subtle elemental forces. Through disciplined meditation and training, they tap into their inner reservoir of spiritual power to shape their ki into deadly weapons or wield the elements with precision.

With the ability to craft weapons from pure energy or infuse their strikes with elemental fury, these monks are versatile combatants. They can seamlessly transition between their ethereal creations and the real world, thanks to their connection to an extradimensional space where their spiritual weapons reside. This unique capability grants them unparalleled adaptability in combat, making them a force to be reckoned with, capable of delivering devastating blows and channelling the very essence of their inner strength into every strike.
