Umbramancer

Overview & Creation

"...There are a key fundamental difference between a Shadow Sorcerer and an Umbramancer. The first is that while a Shadow Sorcerer draws power from the Shadowfell, an Umbramancer does not. What an Umbramancer draws on are the very concepts of darkness and shadow. It does not matter where that darkness comes from, be it a beautiful night sky or a fathomless abyss. It is all the same to them.
