The psychomancer is a wizard adept in the manipulation of the psyche, or as it is commonly known – the soul, be it for good or ill. It all depends upon the caster’s heart and grit, as well as their general tendencies and view of the world. Not many practitioners have lived to tell the tale, but those few of them that have, speak of a hard and gruesome path which eventually may lead even to Godhood.
These arcane investigators, prowl the world for bits and pieces of hidden lore, so ancient and forgotten, that the penalty of death by disintegration for using such practices does not impede them. Instead, they travel the world in secret, posing as wizards of the known schools or becoming adventurers in search of magic and resources.
Some seek them out to gain knowledge, others to gain from them or bargain for things psychomancers crave, like research resources. Most often than not, such beings are malevolent and dangerous. Demons from the Abyss and Devils in the Nine Hells are the worst that psychomancers have to deal with, which in many cases does not impede them in the least.
