The ability to possess great skill in utilizing black shamanism. Evil counterpart of Shamanism.

Also Called[]

Capabilities[]

Users of this ability are skilled in utilizing black shamanism, which is the evil counterpart of traditional shamanism. Black shamans reject the traditional role of a shaman as a healer and guide in favor of personal gain. They may engage in many evil deeds, but common themes include conjuring evil spirits, warping the elements for destructive means, placing curses on people and stealing life-force from the living.

Some cultures even go further and have evil shamans develop into a unique type of evil entity. One example is the Navajo figure known as the skin-walker.
