Ancestral Soul
Ancestral Souls are sorcerers whose innate abilities draw the spirits of their ancestors to them. It is the most common and oldest form of sorcerer among the Dark Elves of Chardenfell. Those who survive the ordeal form a symbiotic relationship, harnessing the power of their ancestor spirits while having their soul slowly drained away by them.
Restriction: Only Dark Elves should take this subclass unless there is a really good reason otherwise.
