In this installment, we see the Convocationist, the Grey Legionnaire and the Guild Thief.
Convocationist (Req: Any Race except Frost Dwarf Wizard)
The Convocation is a group of Elementalists, wizards who base their spells on the four elements. They operate as a kind of guild, meeting each other to swap notes, copy spells and discuss news of relevance to their studies. There are few Anari or Saxa elementalists who are not members, though elf and halfling elementalists are rarer, often preferring to do their own thing. Frost Dwarves can only become Rune Mages.
When an Elementalist starts out, he learns spells applicable to one particular element; as he or she progresses in their studies, they often gather spells of other elements too. Those who have mastered spells of all four elements are referred to as Arkhwisards (Archmages), and are exceedingly rare in numbers. Each element is diametrically opposed by another; when you are choosing to add an extra element, you may not choose the element diametrically opposed to your original choice until you become an Arhhwisard. Earth and Air are diametrically opposed, as are Fire and Water.
Initial Move: Elemental Power
You may choose spells of another element in addition to your first element.
Move (level 2-5): Elemental Mastery
You may choose spells of a third element.
Move (level 6-10): Arkhwisard
You may learn spells of the fourth element that you are diametrically opposed to.

Whatever their stories, the Legion takes any who wish to redeem themselves, to give their lives achieving something of note for the people of the world, so that their miserable lives prior to this point will not have been for nothing, or to make amends for their past wrongs. In joining the Grey Legion, all prior sins are forgiven.
