	What is Ylem? A sophist can drop a stone from a tall building 1,000 times and measure everything they need to know about gravity. When asked what gravity IS, however, the sophist will be stumped. Ylem is like gravity. It is a great source of power. It is ubiquitous, and those who can feel it can and often do use it to make themselves more powerful. As far as anyone has been able to determine, there seems to be no end to this supply of power.		What is Ylem?

While a few additional senses exist in rare individuals, the rarest of these is simply called "The Feeling". The feeling enables a person to sense Ylem.

	Conduits of celestial authority, cosmic order, and absolute conviction, [[Divine]]s channel the immense powers of the upper heavens or specialized archetypal deities.

Their presence on the battlefield brings supernatural fortitude, turning ordinary infantries into unyielding crusades through the pure, radiant manifestation of their faith.

	Bound by an obsession with forbidden forces, [[Warlock]]s utilize complex, geometric magic circles to exert absolute control over extra-planar and synthetic entities. Operating across insular, secretive cults, they do not fight their own battles, but instead lead from the rear through proxy armies. Through the mastery of their wrist-bound circles of control, an advanced [[Warlock]] can summon malevolent [[Daemon]]s from dark dimensions, cultivate synthetic [[Homunculi]], or rip the departed back to the material plane to raise tireless legions of the [[Undead]].

	The sentinel guardians of [[Otan]]'s natural order, [[Shaman]]s operate as the vital spiritual and agricultural anchors for rural, frontier communities. Rejecting the sterile stone of major cities, they align their internal energies directly with the living ecosystem through three foundational spiritual circles: Attraction, Life, and Regeneration. From their secluded sanctuary groves, a [[Shaman]] can turn the environment itself against intruders, summoning powerful spirit animals, commanding flora, and cultivating customized slimes to heal the sick or aggressively defend the wild spaces they call home.

	The epitome of structured martial defense and disciplined tactical leadership, Knights serve as the unyielding bulwarks of [[Otan]]'s civilizations. Bound by rigid codes, extensive martial training, and heavy armor proficiencies, they specialize in spatial control and perimeter management. A [[Knight]] does not simply fight; they command the geometry of the battlefield, utilizing massive shields, precise defensive parries, and authoritative combat formations to draw enemy aggression entirely away from their fragile allies.

	The master stalkers of the untamed wilderness, [[Hunter]]s, bridge the gap between human civilization and the predatory wild.

A [[Hunter]] dominates their environment through meticulous preparation, configuring complex mechanical snares, exploiting environmental hazards, and utilizing loyal animal companions to neutralize high-value targets long before a drop of blood is spilled in close combat.

	Operating within the blind spots of perception and security, [[Rogue]]s are the premier masters of stealth, agility, and precision lethality. They view conventional combat as a failure of positioning, choosing instead to exploit structural vulnerabilities, anatomical weak points, and chaotic environments. Utilizing rapid-fire reflexes, expert acrobatics, and a vast arsenal of concealed gadgets or toxins, a [[Rogue]] can bypass complex security arrays, slip through unbreachable perimeters, and deliver instantaneous, decisive strikes from the shadows.

	Masters of resonance, psychological manipulation, and interpersonal dynamics, Bards utilize creative expression as a tangible force. They do not view performance as mere entertainment, but as a systematic methodology for altering cognitive states, manipulating memory, and bending social environments to their absolute will. Through harmonic frequency, rhythmic prose, or theatrical presence, a Bard can bolster the morale of entire battalions, disorient enemy lines, or seamlessly navigate the highest, most cutthroat political structures of Otan's metropolitan centers.

	Considered by many scholars to be the foundational root of all powered disciplines, Witches are the multi-disciplinary pioneers of Otan's magic. Operating from ancestral, generationally preserved kitchens, they possess a vast, highly varied repertoire that balances cosmic aethereal currents with material mediums. A [[Witch]] seamlessly transitions between weaving permanent geometric runic wards, amplifying energy through tuned crystals, brewing complex herbal remedies, and animating sympathetic poppets to holistically solve a community's daily problems or fortify its civil defense.

	Driven by an unrelenting, hyper-advanced spark of kinetic intuition, [[Tinker]]s are the master inventors and architects of mechanical progress. Their unique perception allows them to visualize structural stress points and intricate pressure flows in real time, enabling them to fabricate revolutionary technology using wood, metal, stone, and steam. Depending on their personal philosophies, a Tinker might forge heavy mechanized armor to serve as a frontline fighting machine or construct volatile ranged artillery to dictate combat from afar, leaving behind an undeniable trail of towering mechs, airships, and self-shifting fortresses.
