Soothesayer
The world is merely the energy of chaos bound into form by order. Soothsayers are individuals who gained the ability to manipulate these chaotic forces of the universe. They often awaken to their strange abilities during a violent or traumatic experience, releasing their power involuntarily. As the chaos power is rarely inherited, soothsayers are rarely able to find mentors to guide them, so they must delve into these mysteries on their own to learn to control their gifts. In time, they learn to live their lives in something akin to harmony with these forces, becoming living channels for them, and learning how to alter them to create many strange effects, some minor, some able to alter reality itself. While some see the powers of the soothsayer as a gift, others view it as a curse, changing the life of the affected in unforeseen ways.
The soothsayer is a spellcaster that both takes chances into his own hands and relies on their mercy. With the ability to alter their spells to suit any needs, he has the versatility most situations – and if all seems lost, he can always try his luck and see if he is saved.
