The Darkness Comes - Part Two - Classes

The Magic of Spirits and How they Affect Characters
The people of this world can channel the power of the spirits in three possible ways. How this power manifests for each character determines that character's class.

• Internally: This character manifests the power of the spirits into his/her own body. This would allow them feats of strength, endurance, or agility. It could allow them to change the shape of their own body, or practice skills beyond their norm. It would allow for skillful blows in battle, or special attacks. The internal user is often referred to as the "Fighter". However, their special manifestations, could include those skills normally attributable to a "Rogue" or "Monk"
• Externally: This character manifests the power outside his body. This character may be able to "cast" traditional spells (bolts of magic, lightning strikes, healing), but he can not use his powers on himself. An external user is often referred to as a mage.
• In the Spirit Realm: This character is able to manifest the power of the spirit in the spirit realm. He/she can focus the power of a group of spirit into a concentrated attack on the darkness. He/She can also "attach or remove" spirits from other members of the party (more on this later). A user that effects the spirit realm is referred to as a Shaman.

So this leaves us with three character classes: The Fighter, the Mage, and the Shaman
