Cult Acolyte
A dark magic practitioner who drains life and shields themselves with shadow wards.
Hooded in black robes embroidered with writhing sigils that seem to move when you're not looking directly at them. The cult acolyte's pale hands glow with a sickly violet light, and their eyes — what you can see of them beneath the hood — are shot through with veins of unnatural darkness. Once scholars, priests, or simply the desperate, they were drawn to the cult's promise of forbidden knowledge. Now they serve as foot soldiers for powers they barely comprehend, channeling energies that consume them slowly from within.
