Background

Different peoples approach spiritual service through different traditions. The class brings those backgrounds into a toolkit concerned with survival, conviction and the power to influence another creature’s condition.

Combat style

Mana must support both immediate responses and a longer encounter. Direct healing, shields, periodic effects and control abilities reward attention to what is about to happen as well as damage already taken.

Roles and trees

Discipline develops prevention and protective healing, Holy broadens restorative options, and Shadow turns toward damage and sustained pressure. Penance, Guardian Spirit and Vampiric Touch mark distinct deep-tree directions.

Playing this patch

This profile describes the Wrath mana-based class. It does not import later resource systems or modern specialization rules. Point allocation can combine supporting talents while respecting their real prerequisites.
