Raven Priest

"For every light, there is a shadow."

- Triana Brandt, Raven Archbishop "My sins make me holy."

- Unknown Raven Priest Salvation comes in many forms, and for those delving into the more esoteric of these forms, it is a Raven Priest one must seek as a guide. Wielding both the Light and Shadow, a Raven Priest believes that the Light is strongest in the dark, and that the Light's grace can wash away any sin, no matter how grievous. Most Raven Priests are part of the Raven Conclave, a powerful sect of Scarlet Onslaught clergy loyal to the Raven Archbishop, but some maverick Raven Priests are rumored to exist, offering their unnatural magicks to the Light's chosen.

Abilties
A Raven Priest is, first and foremost, a priest trained in the ways of the Holy Light. Theirs is a faith of both shadow and light, and this is reflected in their abilities. A Raven Priest's Light-based spellset is essentially that of a more traditional Light priest, though their abilities tend to be more focused and intense on single targets, with their abilities diminishing over distance and multiple targets due to the intense focus they require to call on the Light. In this way, they are often a less effective healer than a priest who has not undergone a Raven Priest's revelations.

It is the Raven Priest's shadow-based abilities that present the true danger. These abilities can manifest in a variety of ways, but common iterations include the summoning of spectral familiars, focused shadow bolts and novas, mana consumption, and psychic abilities such as a telepathy. Foresight and even transcendence into shadow beings are not unheard of.
