Those that walk the Path of the Broken Spirit are warriors gifted with an ancient power: The ability to project their spirit into the form of magic forces. This includes magic wards and empowered strikes, and the ability to capture a small amount of a dying creatures lifeforce for their own protection. With these ancient magics, Spiritbreakers make for sturdy warriors, capable of completely shrugging off attacks that could be deadly to others.
