Shadowborn Sorcerer
Shadowborn Sorcerer
You are a creature of shadow, for your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it. The power of shadow magic casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues your soul. Roll on the Shadow Sorcerer Quirk table.Shadowborn Origin Spells
