Leech
A Leech is a Thanomancer whose talent for draining the life forces of others eclipses their ability to work Magic with the resulting energy. Some Leeches take a sick pleasure in tormenting their victims, and some even go so far as to have a dependency on life forces, feeling a need to drain others even if they don't plan to work Magic at all.
A Leech is an interesting roleplaying challenge for mature players in tolerant groups, but may not be suitable for all games. Consult with your GM.

Thanomancer
Thanomancers use the Thanomancy variant of Adeptology.
Thanomancers are powerful naturally occuring Arcane Magic Users, that dont require any training to use their abilities and are able to work their will upon most situations. Thanomancers drain the life forces of other living things to fuel their Magic, but on the plus side dont suffer Long Term Endurance loss from using their Magic (unlike Adepts).
Thanomancers may not be appropriate to all settings or campaigns, or even when they exist they may not be suitable as Player Characters in some GM's games due to their grim means to power. However, in some games with thicker skinned players they can be very interesting additions to an adventuring group. They definitely introduce an interesting dynamic.
