Animal Shaman

Description

Animal Spirits are bestial totems often chosen for their ferocity and hunting skills. Shaman who bind these spirits are most commonly tribal hunters or warriors.

Important: Unlike other types of spirits, Animal spirits imbue the shaman's body itself with animal traits rather than physical objects. Like other spirits, Animal Spirits may be Manifested during which time the shaman loses the bonuses provided by the Totem Power.
