Hobgoblin Warsoul
Occasionally, a warcaster displays an incredible talent for spellcasting, quickly racing ahead of her peers and mastering potent spells. As she endures more rituals and delves deeper into her studies, the warcaster grows in power until her flesh becomes little more than a withered vessel for her soul. She even learns to consume the essence of her lessers to augment her spells. Invariably, she comes to either lead a tribe or die at the hands of a rival.
