Magic is granted to a mortal via many channels. Sorcerers through their bloodline, warlocks through a pact, clerics through worship of a deity. Oracles represent a raw, yet still divine connection to the Weave that grants them unspeakable powers at a terrible cost. These vessels of limitless potential are often chosen against their will to wield powers that they may never fully understand.
While some see the powers of the Oracle as a gift, others view them as a curse, changing the life of the chosen in unforeseen ways. Oracles do not necessarily associate with any singular deity or temple, as their powers can come from any number of circumstances. They may be venerated by their people as a herald for blessings and good tidings, or cast out and ostracized by superstitious villages seeking to rid themselves of charlatans dealing in false prophecy and ill-gotten omens.
