Novice Thanomancer
Thanomancers use the Thanomancy variant of Adeptology.
Novice Thanomancers have not yet come into their power, but have vast potential waiting to be tapped.
Novice 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. Novice 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.
Novice 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.
