Phantom Projection

A gladiator in shining gold armor enters a colosseum, flaunting his pike and shield. Opposite of him, a half-elf in a cloak enters the arena. The gladiator charges the half-elf, going for a fatal stab, but a blue humanoid with ornate silver armor emerges from his adversary's cloak and catches the blow. Then, the odd entity land a single punch and the gladiator falls limp onto the ground.

A halfling and her fellow adventurers encounter a dead end in a dungeon. The halfling makes a hand motion and her allies step back. Suddenly, a pink humanoid with round, green orbs in the place of eyes appears in front of her and slams its fists on the wall, and the wall gives away and forms a hole.

As two armies clashed, a tiefling hid on the sidelines. Next to him stood a golden wolf-like figure. The creature had a flare in its eyes as it howled, and a multitude of intense fireballs exploded in the enemy ranks. The rest of the army quickly finished the enemy off.

Ever since you were a child, there was always a mysterious force protecting you from the worst harms. As you grew, you have seen it in a more humanoid form, and you have shown signs of magical power. Phantom Projection Sorcerers manifest their arcane energy through the phantom that lives within them, and the being activates through them. As the Sorcerer grows magically, the phantom does, as well, gaining many more abilities along the way to strengthen its ability in the battlefield.

These phantoms usually manifest to look like an odd-looking humanoid, but can also appear differently. Some may appear like beasts, and a very select few may appear as magical beings like angels or monsters. However they look, they all possess equal potential.
