Alpha Stigma[edit]

The perfect copycat spellcaster. Even if only sees part of a spell an Alpha Stigma can know what it does and how to do it. He also knows some magic that no one but another Alpha Stigma can copy. These spells are revealed to him by his mind throughout the passage of time. An Alpha Stigma's power lies in his eyes, if his eyes are made useless, so is his power. They have been known to at times of extreme emotional trauma, say the killing of a best friend or parent, they go on a nearly unstoppable rampage of hidden magic which an Alpha stigma can't access without going into this state. They have no control, they kill everyone and everything they can, the only way to stop this rampage is to kill the Alpha stigma, or to close his eyes, nether of which is an easy task.

Making a Alpha Stigma[edit]

This class must be chosen during character creation.

Alpha Stigmas are great spellcasters, but are not weaklings when it comes to hand to hand combat. They can hold their own if it comes to it, by their wits or their spells. An Alpha stigma is not an enemy you want to face.

Abilities: They pride themselves on spell casting so Charisma is a must. They are also great scholars so intelligence is key. And making sure they can dodge attacks is good so dexterity is good to.
