The Soul-drinker

Description

The fifth member of my little adventuring troupe: The Spirit Warrior. He is primarily an offensive-spell caster that deals with (or rather, is limited to) Divine magic (life-death, daemonic, holy). Unlike regular mages, however, the SW requires soul essences of fallen enemies to cast higher level spells or to empower his basic spells. Soul essences are usually absorbed and used instantly (for more potent effects) or is stored inside a device in his gauntlet. More details of this device (and the gauntlet) will be added later.

The SW hails from the Nusantara (SE Asia, realworld, and also very close to home, I must say). So he's a practitioner of the Indo-Malay dark arts (ilmu hitam/ghaib), from which he gains his spells from. But unlike other spellcasters though, the SW is combat capable. A student of Silat - a Nusantara Martial Art - he is especially nasty with daggers - krisses, kukris, the like... as well as the occasional parang. Much like a rogue, he employs stealth and deadly poisons to disable/kill enemies and uses their soul essences to cast powerful spells. In a way, he's pretty much a rogue+/warlock character.

He's got a variety of 'spirit-masks' as well, and the main ones are as depicted here. Details on these masks are still WIP.

And like the acolyte, I seem to have misplaced the original sketch for him. So yeah... enjoy the massive eye rest.
