Rules governing Advent classes

Vhela Animancer Pronounciation: (AN-ih-man-cer)

Animancers are masters of the mind and the soul. Using their ki, they are able to separate a fraction of their consciousness and bind it to the elements to create elementals, golems, and spirits

Naturally, elementals can be created of air, water, earth, and fire. Water, earth, and fire can be combined to create golems of mud and lava, respectively. Water, air, and fire can be infused to create spirits of cloud and storm. Golems and spirits share the qualities of the elementals that created them, allowing them to use the abilities of either donor elementals

Animancers are, by far, the most prolific Advent Class, forcing even the most dedicated adherents to choose their specialization very carefully
