Lifebinder
Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.
—Lao Tzu
Lifebinders are magical surgeons that weave together life and death. The lightwave and darkwave magics they specialize in are two sides of the same coin. Some follow the tree of life: healing the sick, protecting the fallen, training in the use of medical technology. However, some wield this power over life with a darker intention. Animating corpses, manipulating spirits, and vampirically draining the life from one to give to another.
