Psychic

🟢 0.90 column View in Google Sheets

The Psychic draws their power from an innate link to the Arcane Realm. Odd even for those who practice wizardry, Psychics specialize in every magic dealing with the mind. They are able to communicate telepathically, create illusions, move objects with their mind, and more. When they pile their efforts into Arcana, Insight, and Persuasion, there is little else they need.
