Anima Mage

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Anima mages give binders a bad name. Greedy and ambitious, they exploit the powers of the vestiges to which they bind to advance their own abilities. Anima mages see such displaced entities as mere tools, no different from spell component pouches or a wand of fireball. With the power of a vestige, an anima mage can tap a resource all but unknown to his rivals to gain an edge against other spellcasters. The anima mage is a loner, an outsider, and a potential enemy to both binders and witch slayers. But the way others classify him matters little to him, for power is at hand.
