The Hexer

The power of ancient and secret curses runs through your veins. You can be the descendant of ancient hags and powerful feys, or maybe, you were exposed to a profane ritual that imbued your body with this power. Your control over hexes could even be the unexpected effect of a cursed bloodline. Either way, you have the innate power to manipulate the world, place maledictions, and bring fortune or misfortune.
