In the world of Andras, Woolies can choose from three different fighting classes to master: Warrior, Forger, or Shifter.
WarriorsThe Warrior class passes up magics and uses weapons exclusively, with minor magic being used as an amplifier to the Woolyne's weapon of choice.They are a physical class and don't use magic as a weapon like the Forgers do, or shape change like the Shifters. Warriors favor technical and a wide range of combat skill to outmaneuver their opponent. As a result they are the most diverse class! Weapons range from swords, spears, bows, hammers-whatever the Woolyne's preference is! Most Warriors tend to name their weapon as a rite of passage.
Some skilled Warrior Woolyne will use an enchanted weapon-perhaps a spear that electrifies enemies or a sword that creates a strong gust of wind. These weapons take some time to master and aren't for beginners! See Weapons and Armor for more information! WARRIOR TRAINING |
ForgerThe Forger class uses magic as an offensive or defensive force exclusively. This power is known as Lyss, the name of a Woolynes inner magic. There are some cases where a weapon has been used to amplify magic (such as a decorative sword to be used to direct magical attacks), but on the whole Woolyne Forgers use magic without any additions. Forgery is performed by learning spells and casting them verbally with a directed movement from the body or a tool (ex: wand, sword, staff etc). Forgers are quite versatile and can be both long range and short range battlers.
Woolynes have innate magic, but only with proper training can it be brought out. The color of a Woolynes magic will be the same color as their eyes! Woolyne with multi-hued eyes have a stronger magic potential, with complete rainbow or faceted 'gem' eyes being the strongest! See Magic for more information on different forms of Lyss!

ShiftersThe Shifter class is a physical class like the Warriors, but instead of using weapons like a sword or bow, these Woolynes shape change into a different form with the use of a Shifting Stone. These stones can be purchased or passed down as a family treasure and can vary in appearance, but it takes more than owning one to Shift. Only with practice and training can a Woolyne assume their shifted form and control it properly.
The battle form assumed by the Shifter class is stronger than the Woolyne's normal form and is usually much larger. The Woolynes hands become claws, their eyes become a solid color, and their horns grow larger. Shifters tend to rely on brute force to secure victory rather than any technical or magical skill. Infact, this form is incapable of using magic attacks unless the Woolyne is bonded with an Elemental Spirit, in which case the Woolyne can only use attacks of that element. Alternatively, both Mazri and Amiyn Woolyne can use magical attacks when shifted-Shifted Mazri Woolyne gain fire breath while Shifted Amiyn Woolyne gain a freezing ice breath.
