Ritual Magic-
The far winds of magic can blow through anyone no matter their chosen path in life, those who feel the effect of the magic running through them may learn to harness it in a number of ways. They may dedicate their life to a cause or God and become a Cleric; or they may spend years of study in a small candlelit room to become a wizard; or this magic may unlock the power of their ancient blood and become a sorcerer. Some choose to do neither of these things but still not ignore the magic that has chosen them and seek out lost rituals to harness this power.
