Introduction:
Tortured Souls are wild mages who totally despise their heritage to the point that they seek ways to expel the demon blood from their body. The first Tortured Soul was blessed by Andorra in their time of need in order to prove that one who is borne a demon is not necessarily doomed to a dark fate. Since then, the patron deities of light have similarly aided those they deem worthy and believe can be saved. Not all tortured souls fully realize that they are receiving divine aid; however all have an overwhelming desire to do good.
Unlike random wild mage spells, all skills on this list require a teacher.
