Base Class: Sorcerer
These powers are strange, almost alien ones, not understood by most folk. The ability to affect the outside world with your mind is a great one, but one that takes its toll. The power strains to be released, requiring rigid mental practices to keep it in check. These take years of training and the strict mental discipline required often make you appear strange, wholly different from the common folk.
As well as this, your power reveals itself in strange ways and your sorcerer may have a unique quirk related to their psionic abilities.
