Occultists are spellcasters whose power does not stem from study, bloodline, or divine favor—but from the deep inheritance of tradition, the whispers of forgotten pacts, and the unseen currents of the spirit world. They are the bridges between the mystical past and the mystical present, interpreters of the sacred, the haunted, and the forbidden.
  The Occultist plays a flexible and narrative-rich role within a party, acting as both a mystical support caster and a supernatural advisor. While not a powerhouse in terms of raw damage, they excel in debilitation, disruption, and spiritual control. On the battlefield, they function as midline spellcasters who weaken enemies through hexes, curses, and protective wards, often invoking named spirits or ancient bargains to manifest their magic.
  Outside combat, the Occultist is a font of esoteric knowledge and a guide through haunted ruins or divine mysteries, often the only one who can interpret omens, commune with spirits, or safely interact with cursed artifacts. In a party, they serve as a thematic bridge between arcane theory and divine reverence, making them both feared and relied upon, especially when dealing with the unknown.
