About this class
A rare and difficult path, becoming a Spell blade requires immense effort and dedication to two very disparate fields. The commitment of ones life to violence via both weapons and magic creates an individual often suited for occupation as a soldier, strike team member, mercenary or personal avenger. Binding their soul with a tool of violence contrasted with the intense study of utilitarian magics can cause some Spell Blades to lose some emotional tact as they become more and more a weapon in their very soul.
