About this class
Some people in this world possess souls that are so deep and vast that they act as incubators, developing objects within themselves that can manifest in the material world. These beings are known as Soulforges, and the most important tool they will manifest is their Soul Weapon- a unique armament whose abilities and ornamentations are a direct reflection of the Soulforge’s soul. Soulforges that are more upbeat and light tend to channel smooth, aethereal energy through their Soul Weapon, whereas more solemn Soulforges with an unstable demeanor tend to channel rough, abyssal energy instead. No matter the energy channeled, Soulforges are useful as long as their souls remain intact, undisturbed, and consistent.
