(BASE CLASS)
Shaman tend to be secretive people, just like the Spirits that they work with. Shaman act as a communicator between the physical world and the spirit world. They are valued because of their ability to affect both realms. Their power is that of the old magic used by the Fey. Sometimes it is inherited, other times it is granted by a powerful Fey that wishes and agent in the physical world.
A Shamans abilities to influence to physical world can be unusual to behold, as the effect is as much in the spirit world as the physical. They are able to influence weather to a degree and can alter the flows of energy to and from the spirit realm.
