Capabilities[]

Users can perform sorcery; a magical art that involves the evocation of astral or incorporeal beings. Practitioners possess the supernatural power to command spirits by harnessing occult forces for the gain of supernatural knowledge, empowerments, and myriad other benefits. Sorcerers interact with ethereal entities like angels, gods, demons, and many other kind of spectral entities. They can draw upon their aid to harness potent abilities. By drawing upon the power of these mystical beings, users can bestow diverse or specific gifts upon themselves, or channel their energies for intricate spellcasting.

Sorcery stands as a formidable practice, enabling adept sorcerers to command spirits and other spectral beings. They have the capacity to subjugate demonic forces, summon deities, and dominate phantoms, all by using their magic to tap into the powers of astral entities. Practitioners can augment their existing abilities and even acquire new ones based on the spectral beings they harness. However, caution is paramount, for those who wield this power risk becoming victims of the very specters they seek to control.

In short, sorcery mirrors the essence of shamanism but purely on magical prowess, granting practitioners unparalleled control over spectrum entities through the mystical realms.
