AUGUR
The augur is a channeler of potent, primal powers. Their arts are the oldest and most simple practices of channeling vestigial energy through a person. They put energy to simple, devastating effect. The augur bears almost no martial skill, wielding foci, scripts, and scepters exclusively. They wear light armour.
