Overview
The Sciomancers are a special class of mage whose bond to Czjetija, the Shadow realm, has granted them the ability to harness its destructive powers. They are able to wield shadow through their skill in Sciomancy, with potential for a multitude of afflictions. A trained mage can also stabilize and manipulate singularities with their skills in Gravitation, allowing for a different affliction based offense. While enacting acts of Sorcery, they create illusions and become capable of tracing powerful glyphs. These also help in group control and provide basic defence. Overall, Sciomancers are combat focused and supportive, with an emphasis on giving afflictions. They can still serve for hunting and scholarly purposes.
A new Sciomancer is advised to use the typical statpack, though they may change to something else later. Everyone receives one free reincarnation upon leaving novicehood (level 31), and if that is used up, another one upon reaching Tekal (level 99). It is common for people to keep an early statpack until reaching level 100.
