===Campaign Information===


====Playing a Illuminamancer====

'''Religion:''' Illuminamancers as a whole worship balance, and the struggles between Light and Dark, Good and Evil, Law and Chaos.  As such, they are more driven to Neutral god(desses), but more often than not simply revere the Balance of all that is in nature.  The Convent of the Illuminatus is a True Neutral organization that forms the primary worship of all Illuminamancers.

'''Other Classes:''' Illuminamancers, yet another spellcasting class, are held in higher regard by their Wizard and Rogue brethren than most other companions.  Rogues find their innate and detailed level of trickery quite fond in friendship when a shadow can be made to hide in.  Druids share an often similar form of worship, and as such sometimes band together in camaraderie.  Fighters, Paladins, Clerics, and Sorcerers are all more often neutral to an Illuminamancer unless there is previous associations with them. 

'''Combat:''' Illuminamancers typically take a backseat in combat, using their spells and abilities to pour damage unto their allies' enemies from behind plate-wearing companions.  Although some are more stealthy, or tricky, and fill their opponent's minds and eyes with illusions, shadows, and blinding light to confuse and settle the odds firmly in their parties' favor.

'''Advancement:''' Illuminamancers generally do not multiclass, but it is not unheard of for more focused members to enter prestige classes that further their knowledge of spells, or give them a much easier time taking to the midst of combat, or the subtleties of skillfulness.


====Illuminamancers in the World====

{{quote|''"There will always be Light to create the Dark, and there will always be Good to combat Evil."|orig=Maniio the Mirrormaker, Human Illuminamancer}}

Illuminamancers are a very specific group of magicians and warriors.  They are not difficult to place in most campaign settings, but in realms of low magic, or low neutrality, there is no true place for this group.

'''Daily Life:''' Illuminamancers are just as typical as their Wizard, or Cleric cousins.

'''Notables:''' Valerio Seraph of Bonfires, Local Chapter Leader, Illuminamancer9/Archivist1

'''Organizations:''' The Convent of Illuminatus is a temple built into the Earth, constructed in the dark, and gifted with light by a large sunroof.  It varies from campaign to campaign.

'''NPC Reactions:''' NPCs typically respond to this class as yet another Wizard or Cleric.
