Multidimensional Race WIP: Psychopomp

---------------------------------------------------------
Psychopomp Core Identity
Psychopomps are pure soul‑guides, born from the boundary
between life and death. They are not undead, not celestial, not
fey — but something older, stranger, and more inevitable. Their
purpose is to escort souls, maintain cosmic balance, and enforce
the Laws of Passage.
They are feared, revered, and sometimes hunted by those who
misunderstand their role.
The Origin of the Psychopomps
“When death first learned mercy, she was there to teach it.”
Before time had rhythm, before souls knew where to go when they
fell silent, the Morrigan — goddess of war, prophecy, and fate —
looked upon the chaos of dying worlds and wept. Her tears fell
into the Shadow Realm, mingling with the primordial darkness of
Toranoraos, the guardian half of shadow, and from that union was
born Aine Morrigan‑Keane, the First Lightbearer of the
Veil.
Aine was neither mortal nor divine. She was the first
psychopomp, a being of balance — half shadow, half light — whose
purpose was to guide souls through the Veil between worlds. Her
birth marked the moment death ceased to be a void and became a
journey.
Aine Morrigan‑Keane — The First Psychopomp
Aine carried the Lament of the Last Light, a song that could
calm the dying and silence the whispers of corruption.
Her wings were woven from shadowsteel feathers, forged by
Toranoraos himself, and her eyes glowed with the Morrigan’s
foresight — able to see every soul’s thread of destiny.
She walked the boundary between the mortal realm and the Shadow
Realm, shaping the first laws of passage:
1. No soul may be lost to chaos.
2. No death may be without witness.
3. No guide may interfere with fate’s design.
From her teachings, the Choir of Passage was born — the first
generation of psychopomps.
The Formation of the Lineages
As the Veil expanded and the Shadow Realm deepened, Aine’s
disciples evolved into distinct sub‑lineages, each
reflecting a different aspect of her power and the forces that
shaped them.
1. Veilborne Lineage — The Pure Guides
Formed from Aine’s direct light and Toranoraos’s calm shadow.
They became the standard psychopomps, pure and incorruptible,
tasked with guiding souls without judgment.
Their wings shimmer silver, and their voices carry the resonance
of Aine’s original hymn.
2. Ravenveil Lineage — The Messengers
When Aine’s mother, the Morrigan, blessed her followers with the
gift of foresight, some psychopomps gained raven‑black
wings and prophetic sight.
They became the Ravenveil, scouts and watchers who see the
moment of death before it happens.
They are the Morrigan’s eyes in every realm.
3. Lanternborn Lineage — The Memory Keepers
From Aine’s compassion came the Lanternborn, psychopomps who
carry Ghostlight — the gentle glow of memory.
They preserve the stories of the dead and soothe restless souls.
Their presence feels warm, like candlelight in the dark.
4. Eclipseborn Lineage — The Warriors
When Aine fought the first Dark Spirits born of Xeles’s
corruption, her radiant and shadowlight energies fused.
Those who inherited this duality became the Eclipseborn,
wielders of both purification and destruction.
They are the psychopomp elite — the ones who fight when guidance
fails.
5. Threadweaver Lineage — The Fate‑Binders
Aine’s study of destiny threads led to the creation of the
Threadweavers, who manipulate the metaphysical cords connecting
souls to fate.
They are the surgeons of destiny, able to mend or sever the
threads of life itself.
6. Shadowbound Lineage — The Exorcists
When Xeles’s Deep Shadow began to spawn Dark Spirits immune to
purification, Aine trained a sect to wield Spyrix and
spirit‑destruction techniques.
These became the Shadowbound Exorcists, psychopomps who walk the
border between corruption and salvation.
7. Choirborn Lineage — The Judges
The oldest and most sacred lineage, descended from Aine’s
original Choir of Passage.
They carry fragments of her divine authority — the Mandate of
Toranoraos — and serve as judges of souls and psychopomps alike.
Their halos burn with radiant‑shadowlight, symbols of
perfect balance.
The Legacy of Aine
When Aine completed her first thousand crossings, she vanished
into the Eidolon’s Whisper, the silent core of the Shadow Realm.
Her voice still echoes in the Veil — a soft hum heard by every
psychopomp when they guide a soul.
Her teachings endure:
“We are not death’s servants. We are its conscience.”
The Modern Psychopomps
Each lineage now serves a unique role:
~ Veilborne guide.
~ Ravenveil watch.
~ Lanternborn remember.
~ Eclipseborn fight.
~ Threadweavers mend.
~ Shadowbound purge.
~ Choirborn judge.
Together, they form the Choir of Passage, the eternal order born
from Aine Morrigan‑Keane’s light — the first being to
teach the universe that even death deserves grace.
🕰️ The Ages of the Psychopomps
“Every death is a story. Every story deserves a guide.”
I. The Age of Silence — Before the Veil
Era: The primordial stillness before souls knew direction.
Event: The Morrigan gazes upon the chaos of dying worlds — souls
wandering, screaming, dissolving into shadow.
Catalyst: Her grief births the Tears of Fate, droplets of divine
sorrow that fall into the Shadow Realm.
Outcome: The union of those tears with Toranoraos’s shadow
essence creates Aine Morrigan‑Keane, the first psychopomp
— the bridge between light and darkness.
II. The Age of First Passage
Era: The dawn of guidance.
Event: Aine walks the boundary between realms, shaping the Veil,
the metaphysical membrane separating life and death.
Milestone: She forges the Three Laws of Passage and sings the
Lament of the Last Light, calming the dying for the first time.
Legacy: The first souls cross peacefully — death becomes a
journey, not an end.
III. The Age of the Choir’s Birth
Era: The rise of the first generation.
Event: Aine’s teachings spread; her disciples form the Choir of
Passage.
Outcome: The Choir divides into seven sacred orders, each
reflecting a facet of Aine’s power.
Lineages Born:
~ Veilborne — pure guides of souls.
~ Ravenveil — prophetic messengers.
~ Lanternborn — memory keepers.
~ Eclipseborn — warriors of radiant‑shadowlight.
~ Threadweavers — fate surgeons.
~ Shadowbound — exorcists and purgers.
~ Choirborn — judges and leaders.
Each lineage is blessed by either the Morrigan’s foresight or
Toranoraos’s shadowlight.
IV. The Age of Corruption
Era: The rise of Xeles’s Deep Shadow.
Event: The Deep Shadow births Dark Spirits, entities immune to
purification.
Crisis: The Veil trembles; souls begin to vanish into the Deep.
Response: Aine trains the Shadowbound Exorcists, teaching them
Spyrix and spirit‑destruction arts.
Outcome: The first war between psychopomps and Dark Spirits
begins — the War of the Whispering Darkness.
V. The Age of Eclipse
Era: The fusion of radiant and shadowlight.
Event: Aine channels both forces to defeat the corrupted spirits
of Xeles.
Result: The Eclipseborn Lineage emerges — beings who wield both
purification and annihilation.
Symbol: The Eclipse Halo, representing balance between mercy and
destruction.
Legacy: The Choir learns that even shadow can serve the light.
VI. The Age of Threads
Era: The study of destiny itself.
Event: Aine discovers the Threads of Fate, invisible cords
binding souls to their destinies.
Creation: The Threadweaver Lineage arises, mastering the art of
mending and severing these threads.
Impact: The Choir gains control over curses, destiny
manipulation, and soul restoration.
Warning: Tampering with fate begins to attract cosmic attention
— the Eidolon’s Whisper stirs.
VII. The Age of Judgment
Era: The Choirborn ascend.
Event: Aine grants fragments of her divine authority — the
Mandate of Toranoraos — to the Choirborn.
Purpose: They become judges of souls and psychopomps alike,
enforcing balance across realms.
Symbol: Halos of radiant‑shadowlight burn above their
heads.
Outcome: The Choir becomes a structured order, bound by law and
hierarchy.
VIII. The Age of the Eidolon’s Whisper
Era: Aine’s transcendence.
Event: After guiding a thousand crossings, Aine vanishes into
the Eidolon’s Whisper, the silent core of the Shadow Realm.
Effect: Her voice becomes the hum heard by every psychopomp
during a soul’s passage.
Legacy: The Choir continues her work, guided by her memory and
the resonance of her song.
IX. The Age of the Fractured Veil (For universes without Aine.)
Era: Modern era.
Event: The Veil weakens under mortal interference — necromancy,
soul‑binding, and corruption spread.
Response: The Shadowbound and Eclipseborn rise again, reforging
Spyrix and rediscovering Aine’s lost runes.
Outcome: The Choir of Passage stands divided — some seek
restoration, others vengeance.
X. The Age Yet to Come — The Return of the Lightbearer (For
universes without Aine.)
Prophecy:
“When the Veil bleeds shadow and the Choir falls silent,
The First Light shall return,
Bearing wings of shadowsteel and eyes of dawn.”
It is said that Aine Morrigan‑Keane will one day emerge
from the Eidolon’s Whisper to restore balance — not as a guide,
but as the Judge of Death itself.
Subspecies of Psychopomp Race:
1. SHADOWSTEEL WINGED
“Wings forged of darkness and metal — the guardians who cut
through corruption.”
Subspecies Identity
The Shadowsteel Winged are descended from psychopomps who were
present at the forging of the first Shadowsteel. Their wings are
not feathers but metal‑shadow constructs, each “feather” a
razor‑thin shard of living darkness. They are the shock
troopers of the Choir — built for battle, pursuit, and cutting
through corrupted realms.

transition, and the unseen. They are the scouts, infiltrators,
and boundary‑keepers of the Choir.

3. FATE‑MARKED
“Runes of destiny burn beneath their skin — chosen by the
threads of fate.”
Subspecies Identity
The Fate‑Marked are born with glowing runes etched into
their bones and soul‑threads. These runes are fragments of
Toranoraos’s original Mandates, giving them a natural affinity
for destiny, probability, and soul‑threads. They are the
adjudicators, curse‑breakers, and destiny‑shapers of
the psychopomp race.
Physical Traits
~ Runes visible under the skin when emotional
~ Eyes with faint geometric patterns
~ Voices that carry subtle harmonic resonance
Innate Abilities
+1 to Any Ability Score

The Psychopomp Martial Discipline
“The Way of the Silent Crossing”
Origin
The discipline was created by the First Choir, the primordial
psychopomps who shaped the earliest pathways between life and
death.
It is not merely a fighting style — it is a ritual, a
philosophy, and a cosmic duty.
Psychopomps train in this discipline to:
Maintain balance
Protect souls
Destroy corruption
Enforce the Mandates of Passage
Mortals see it as magic.

3. Mandate of Stillness

silence.
Abilities:
Elements Controlled:
🌑 Shadowlight:
Essence: The illumination that exists within darkness — not
against it. It is the paradoxical radiance that burns from the
heart of shadow, born when Darkfire merges with Aine’s
deathlight. Shadowlight is the psychopomp’s
truth‑revealing flame.
Core Nature
A soul‑revealing luminance that exposes essence, not
surfaces.
Exists only where light and shadow coexist in balance.
Burns corruption, lies, and illusion simultaneously.
Strengthens regeneration and stabilizes the soul.
Manifestations
Appears as white‑gold flame with black undertones.
Emits no physical light — only metaphysical illumination.
When wielded by a psychopomp, it forms weapons like the
Shadowlight Psychopomp Lance or Veilborne Mandate.
Symbolism
Shadowlight represents truth through darkness — the idea that
enlightenment can only be found by facing what hides within.
👻 Ghostlight:
Essence: The lingering luminescence of departed souls.
Ghostlight is the memory of life that remains after death — a
gentle, spectral glow that guides psychopomps and spirits alike.
Core Nature
A residual soul‑energy that clings to the Veil.
Serves as a beacon for lost spirits seeking passage.
Can be absorbed or redirected by psychopomps to stabilize the
dying.
Harmless to mortals, but soothing to the dead.
Manifestations
Appears as soft blue‑white motes or drifting embers.
Flickers in places of strong emotion or recent death.
When concentrated, forms Ghostlight Lanterns or Requiem Fields.
Symbolism
Ghostlight embodies memory and mercy — the light that refuses to
fade even after the soul departs.
Deathlight: The Radiance That Lives Between Life and the End of
All Things
Essence:
Deathlight is the pure, unfiltered luminosity of the departing
soul — the moment of transition made visible. It is not
destructive by nature; it is revelatory. It shows what a being
truly is when stripped of flesh, ego, and illusion.
To mortals, it appears as a soft, blue‑white glow.
To spirits, it is a beacon.
To corrupted entities, it is agony.
To psychopomps, it is home.
Core Nature of Deathlight
1. Truth‑Revealing Radiance
Deathlight exposes the soul’s essence — its purity, its
corruption, its regrets, its potential.
Nothing can hide from it.
Not lies.
Not illusions.
Not even self‑deception.
2. Soul‑Stabilizing Energy
It calms the dying, eases fear, and prevents spirits from
fracturing or becoming wraiths.
Aine uses it to guide souls gently, like a hand on the shoulder.
3. Anti‑Corruption Flame
Against corrupted beings, Deathlight becomes a burning force
that purifies or annihilates, depending on the soul’s state.
4. Boundary‑Piercing Glow
It can slip through dimensions, rifts, and veils — Deathlight is
recognized by every realm as a lawful authority.
5. Psychopomp Signature
Only true psychopomps can wield it.
Aine, being one of the first, carries the purest form of
Deathlight in existence.
Purifying Darkness:
Solar/Radiant Energy:
Basic:
Spiritborn: You count as both humanoid and outsider, whichever
is more beneficial.
Darkvision: You can see in darkness (both mundane and magical)
up to 120 ft.
Deathsense:
You always know:
~When a creature within 60 ft is dying
~Whether a corpse’s soul has departed
~Whether a spirit is bound, trapped, or corrupted
This is not sight — it’s a soul‑perception.
Soulwalk: Once per long rest, you may step partially out of the
physical world for 1 minute:
~Move through creatures and objects as difficult terrain
~Immune to opportunity attacks
~Advantage on Insight and Perception checks
Requiem Touch:
Your touch can:
~Calm a dying creature
~End fear or charm effects

a soul you are sworn to guide.
You gain advantage on saving throws against:

Basic Psychopomp Reaper:
1. Soul‑Sense: Psychopomps perceive souls the way mortals
perceive light.
They can detect:
~ Life force strength

Psychopomps can cut metaphysical bindings:
~ Curses
~ Possessions
~ Soul chains
~ Demonic contracts
~ Undead anchors
A clean severing leaves the soul free and unburdened.
4. Guided Crossing: Their most sacred duty.
They escort a soul to its destined afterlife, ensuring:
~ No predators interfere

This is the moment mortals see a psychopomp as a comforting
figure.
5. Dual‑Light Manifestation: Psychopomps wield both
radiant and shadow energy simultaneously.
They can:
~ Purify with light

alike.
6. Soul‑Anchor: They can tether a soul to a body or
object.

psychopomp.

Even gods listen when a psychopomp speaks in Requiem.
9. Veil‑Weaving:They manipulate the boundary between
worlds.
Applications:
~ Create temporary portals
~ Hide in the Veil
~ Reveal hidden spirits

This is the closest thing psychopomps have to “crafting.”
10. Judgment Sight: Their eyes see the truth of a being’s
essence.
They can perceive:
~Regrets

~ Fate threads
~ The moment of death (if imminent)
They do not judge morality — only truth.

across multiple planes simultaneously.
Effects:

~ Perceive threats across realities
~ Strike a target’s physical and spiritual forms in the same
heartbeat

strain.
2. Abyssal Thread Reversal: You reverse the metaphysical
“direction” of a soul’s thread.
Uses:
~ Undo a corruption or possession
~ Force a demon or parasite out of a host
~ Collapse a necromantic ritual by unraveling its anchor
This is the reaper equivalent of rewinding fate.
3. Eternal Quietus Field: You generate a silent sphere where
death magic is absolute.
Inside the field:
~ Undead cannot regenerate
~ Spirits cannot flee

It is the ultimate battlefield control for a psychopomp.
4. Soul‑Forge Transmutation: You reshape a soul without
harming it.
Applications:
~ Remove trauma or corruption
~ Strengthen a weakened spirit

6. Oblivion Lattice: You weave a geometric construct of
annihilating energy.
It can:
~ Trap an enemy in a soul‑erasing cage
~ Seal a dimensional breach
~ Disintegrate undead on contact
~ Stabilize collapsing realms
It is both a prison and a scalpel.
7. Chrono‑Requiem Pulse: A temporal shockwave that affects
only souls.
Results:
~ Undead are aged into dust
~ Spirits are frozen in time
~ Living creatures experience a moment of perfect clarity
~ Corrupted entities are forced to relive their final moments
Time itself becomes a reaper’s tool.
8. Veil‑Crown Apotheosis: You manifest the Crown of the
Veil — a halo of shadowlight.
Grants:
~ Immunity to soul manipulation
~ Authority over death magic
~ The ability to rewrite a creature’s “death moment”
This is the mark of a psychopomp commander.
9. Soul‑Storm Convergence: You summon a cyclone of
wandering spirits.
The storm can:
~ Shield allies
~ Tear apart undead
~ Reveal hidden entities

It is both a weapon and a sanctuary.

declare a creature’s soul ready for passage, and reality obeys.
Effects:
~ Prevents resurrection
~ Cancels immortality
~ Forces a dying creature to pass peacefully

Only the greatest psychopomps dare invoke this.
Advanced:
1. Parallax Reaper Form: You split your presence across two
planes using Parallax Soul‑Split.
Effects:
~ Strike from two angles at once
~ One attack hits the body, the other hits the soul
~ Enemies cannot fully defend against both
This is the psychopomp equivalent of dual‑wielding
reality.
2. Oblivion Lattice Breaker: You form a micro‑Lattice
around your weapon.
Effects:
~ Attacks erase small portions of matter or spirit
~ Undead struck by it unravel instantly
~ Living foes feel their strength flicker
A surgical, terrifying finisher.

of dual‑light slashes.
Effects:
~ Each strike alternates radiant and shadow damage
~ Final blow detonates in a burst of ghostlight
~ Spirits are purified; undead are vaporized
A dance of light and darkness.
4. Chrono‑Requiem Step: You combine Reaper’s Step with
Chrono‑Requiem Pulse.
Effects:
~ Time slows around you
~ You reposition freely
~ Enemies caught in the temporal wake suffer soul‑fatigue
A psychopomp’s version of time‑dilation combat.
5. Abyssal Reversal Counterstrike: Using Abyssal Thread
Reversal, you turn an enemy’s attack back on them.
Effects:
~ Redirect curses, necrotic blasts, or soul‑attacks
~ The attacker suffers their own metaphysical backlash
~ Spirits recoil in fear
A perfect “your sin returns to you” moment.
6. Dominion Shatter Command: You invoke Reaper’s Dominion
mid‑battle.
Effects:
~ All spirits and undead freeze
~ Bound entities collapse to their knees

A whirlwind of spectral violence.

Apotheosis active, you channel the Crown into your weapon.
Effects:
~ Your strike becomes a decree
~ It ignores resistances, immunities, and protections
~ If the target is fated to die soon, the blow becomes fatal
This is not an attack — it is a sentence.
9. Quietus Field Breakthrough: You activate a localized Eternal
Quietus Field and charge through it.
Effects:
~ Undead disintegrate as you pass
~ Spirits are forced aside
~ Living foes feel their strength drain
You become a moving zone of absolute death‑authority.
10. Final Mandate Severance: The deadliest technique a
psychopomp can use in combat. You combine Final Passage Mandate
with a physical strike.
Effects:
~ Your blow severs the target’s metaphysical “death thread”
~ Immortality ends
~ Regeneration stops
~ Resurrection becomes impossible
A single, perfect, inevitable cut.
All psychopomp characters can have unique abilities and
techniques.

Psychopomp Class: The Shadowbound Exorcist
“When the Whispering Darkness speaks, we answer with silence.”
Role and Purpose
Shadowbound Exorcists are psychopomps trained to fight Dark
Spirits, the corrupted echoes of Xeles’s power.
They serve as Toranoraos’s counter‑agents, operating at
the boundary where the Deep Shadow Realm bleeds into the
multiverse.
Their mission: contain, cleanse, or destroy entities born of
Whispering Darkness.
Core Philosophy
The Exorcist’s creed is paradoxical:
“To fight the shadow, one must walk within it — but never
listen.”
They wield shadowlight, not to destroy darkness, but to silence
its voice.
Primary Attributes
Attribute Description
Wisdom Guides their perception of corrupted souls.
Charisma Commands authority over spirits and mortals
alike.
Constitution Allows survival in the Deep Shadow’s corrosive
aura.
Signature Abilities
1. Whisperbane Aura
A field of radiant silence that nullifies Whispering Darkness.
Cancels possession attempts. Weakens Dark Spirit magic. Causes
whispers to fade into static.
2. Soul‑Mirror Invocation
You conjure a spectral mirror reflecting a spirit’s true form.
Reveals hidden entities. Forces possessed targets to confront
their corrupter. Can shatter to deal radiant‑shadow
damage.
3. Eclipse Binding Rite
A ritual that fuses radiant and shadowlight chains. Immobilizes
a Dark Spirit. Prevents escape or possession. Requires immense
focus — failure risks backlash.
4. Veil‑Pierce Step
A movement technique that lets the Exorcist phase through the
Deep Shadow safely. Immunity to Whispering Darkness corruption
for 10 seconds. Can bypass barriers created by Xeles’s minions.
5. Requiem of Silence
A haunting melody that erases whispers. Forces all Dark Spirits
in range to make Wisdom saves. On failure, they lose their voice
— and their power.
6. Soul‑Purge Scythe
Manifest your weapon as a radiant‑shadow scythe tuned to
the Deep Shadow frequency. Deals bonus damage to possessed or
corrupted targets. Can sever possession links.
7. Toranoraos’s Blessing
A divine surge from the protective half of the Shadow Realm.
Temporarily grants immunity to Whispering Darkness. Restores
clarity and suppresses corruption.
8. Echo Severance
You cut the metaphysical echo connecting a Dark Spirit to its
host. Ends possession instantly. Leaves the host unconscious but
unharmed.
9. Deep Shadow Resonance
You channel Xeles’s own frequency against him. Converts
Whispering Darkness into radiant‑shadow energy. Dangerous
— prolonged use risks corruption.
10. Final Silence
The ultimate technique. Creates a zone where all sound, magic,
and whispers cease. Dark Spirits disintegrate within it. The
Exorcist’s voice is lost for one hour afterward.
Weaknesses
Vulnerable to Echo Manipulation (Dark Spirits can mimic their
voices).
Must maintain balance between radiant and shadowlight —
imbalance causes corruption.
Cannot fight indefinitely in Xeles’s territory without
Toranoraos’s blessing.
Hierarchy
Rank Title
Initiate of Silence Learns Whisperbane and
Soul‑Mirror.
Veilwalker Gains Veil‑Pierce and Eclipse
Binding.
Exorcist Adept Masters Soul‑Purge and Requiem of
Silence.
Choir of Stillness Leads purges in the Deep Shadow.
Toranoraos’s Hand Wields Final Silence; speaks directly for
the Veil.
Five Advanced Spirit‑Destruction Techniques
Used only when purification fails.
1. Spyrix Severance Kata
A lethal martial form using a blade or gauntlet forged with
Spyrix, the spirit‑destruction metal.
Effects
Cuts through any spiritual being, including Dark Spirits and
Death Wraiths.
On contact, Spyrix destabilizes the target’s
soul‑structure.
A full kata sequence can permanently erase a corrupted spirit.
Risk
Spyrix drains the Exorcist’s own soul‑energy with each
strike.
2. Abyss‑Breaker Pulse
A focused burst of anti‑spirit energy created by combining
Deep Shadow Resonance with Whisperbane Aura.
Effects
Shatters the metaphysical “core” of a Dark Spirit.
Cancels Whispering Darkness abilities instantly.
Can destroy lesser Dark Spirits outright.
Risk
Overuse causes internal soul‑fractures in the Exorcist.
3. Void‑Thread Guillotine
A precision technique that severs the soul‑threads
anchoring a Dark Spirit to existence.
Effects
Cuts the spirit’s connection to Xeles’s Deep Shadow Realm.
Causes immediate collapse of the spirit’s form.
Works even on Dark Spirits immune to purification.
Risk
If misaligned, it can sever the Exorcist’s own threads.
4. Eclipse Obliteration Rite
A ritualized finishing move performed in Eclipse Form.
Effects
Radiant and shadowlight converge into a single annihilating arc.
Destroys the target’s soul‑matrix beyond recovery.
Leaves behind a silent crater of ghostlight.
Risk
Temporarily burns out the Exorcist’s Eclipse abilities.
5. Toranoraos’s Final Edict
A divine command channeled directly from Toranoraos, the
guardian half of the Shadow Realm.
Effects
Forces a Dark Spirit to manifest its true form.
A beam of shadowlight judgment descends and erases the spirit
completely.
Works even on elite, ancient, or Whisper‑immune Dark
Spirits.
Risk
The Exorcist must sacrifice a memory, emotion, or fragment of
their own soul to invoke it.

hand.

bare‑handed.

simultaneously.

energy.

Psychopomp Magic:
1. Lament of the Departing: A haunting aria that forces all
hostile creatures in a wide radius to feel the weight of their
own mortality. Enemies make Wisdom saves or become
soul‑weary, suffering disadvantage on attacks and losing
the will to fight. Spirits are calmed instantly.
2. Veil‑Rend Passage: You tear open a controlled rift in
the Veil. Allows instant travel between two points you can
visualize. Undead within 30 ft must save or be banished to the
Shadowway.
3. Eidolon Convergence: You summon the echoes of every soul
you’ve ever guided. They swirl around you as spectral guardians.
Grants massive defensive bonuses and deals
radiant‑necrotic hybrid damage to attackers.
4. Soul‑Thread Bind: You weave metaphysical threads around
a target’s essence. Restrains a creature by its soul, not its
body. Works even on incorporeal beings and teleporters.
5. Reaper’s Interdict: A divine command that forbids death
itself. Allies in range cannot drop below 1 HP for the duration.
Undead take heavy radiant damage each round.
6. Oblivion Bloom: A flower of ghostlight blossoms at a point
you choose. Explodes into a silent wave of annihilating energy.
Deals necrotic, radiant, and soul damage simultaneously. Spirits
caught in it are purified.
7. Ferryman’s Claim: You mark a creature with the sigil of
passage. If they die within the next hour, you choose where
their soul goes. Can override curses, bindings, or demonic
contracts.
8. Judgment Scythe Manifest: You conjure the true Scythe of
Passage. Attacks deal dual‑plane damage, hitting both body
and soul. On a critical hit, you sever a corruption, curse, or
possession.
9. Ravenveil Swarm: You dissolve into a storm of spectral
ravens. Move through enemies, dealing slicing soul‑damage.
Reform anywhere within 120 ft. Leaves behind a trail of
ghostlight that detonates after 3 seconds.
10. Psychopomp Ascension: Your ultimate form. Wings unfurl,
circuitry ignites, and your voice echoes with the Choir of the
Dead.
Gain flight, resistance to all damage, and empowered
spellcasting. Undead must flee or be obliterated. Living
creatures feel overwhelming calm and clarity.

Weaknesses:
1. Veil Dependency: Psychopomps draw power from the boundary
between worlds. In areas where the Veil is thin or torn, they
thrive. In places where it’s sealed or sanctified, their
abilities falter. They are strongest near death — weakest in
pure life.
2. Soul Overload: Each soul they guide leaves a residue. Too
many crossings in quick succession cause spiritual burnout,
dulling their senses and weakening their magic.
3. Echo Vulnerability: Their own echoes — fragments of past
crossings — can be weaponized against them. Necromancers and
void entities can use these echoes to confuse or control them.
4. Emotional Resonance: Psychopomps feel mortal emotion too
deeply. Love, grief, or guilt can destabilize their Deathsense,
making them hesitate when precision is vital.
5. Light‑Shadow Imbalance: Their dual nature must remain
balanced. If they overuse radiant or shadow energy, they suffer
backlash — radiant burns or shadow corrosion.
6. Mandate Constraint: Bound by cosmic law, they cannot act
outside their Psychopomp’s Mandate. They cannot kill without
purpose, resurrect without sanction, or interfere with fate’s
design.
7. Soul‑Anchor Fragility: Their anchors — the metaphysical
tethers that stabilize souls — can be severed by
anti‑spirit magic or divine interference. Without an
anchor, they lose cohesion and begin to fade.
8. Temporal Displacement: Frequent use of Chrono‑Requiem
abilities causes time drift. They may lose minutes, hours, or
even memories — a subtle erosion of identity.
9. Echo of Mortality: Though immortal, they remember dying. That
memory can be triggered by certain sounds, scents, or emotions,
stunning them momentarily.
10. Soulbrand Exposure: Their Soulbrand Sigil glows when a soul
is near — but also makes them visible to predators that hunt
spirits.
It’s both a beacon and a target.
