Cyborg

In a world where magic is hoarded by the rich and powerful, those with limited means have turned towards risky body modifications with magically-enhanced technology. Many cyborgs operate underground with questionable materials and ethical practices; however, those who are successful are granted enormous power.

Cyborgs replace parts of their body with "magi-tech" prosthetics to increase their strength, speed, or durability. These prosthetics may heighten your senses or give you the ability to cast powerful spells. Cyborgs are extremely customizable, able to become the ultimate trackers, brawlers, or blasters.
