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: Animal spirits imbue the shaman's body with aspects of their nature (a Totem Power) instead of imbuing equipment. However, like other spirits, Animal Spirits may still be Manifested during which time the shaman loses the bonuses provided by the Totem Power.
