Practice of the Elusive Hound

    Casters who practice of the elusive hound come from a mono-theistic kingdom to the west of the archipelago, and act as the priestly sect of that kingdom. They journey out beyond their kingdom to proselytize to those they view as worshipping djinn, an "evil" long ago eradicated from their lands. Their efforts are, however earnest, fruitless as their river god's influence only reaches as far as the sea before it is swallowed.

    The spirits they control tend to take the form of dogs, they are called forth with a whistle or a wave of the hand before darting out from down low to their target. These spirits come from the souls of their dead across the sea, but are much easier to come by among the isles of the archipelago.

    Smokewater is considered sacred to them, it is a drug that is used to tame spirits, and they can quickly grow impudent if not sourced with it. In appearance, it looks like dark inky water, and holds most of the same properties as regular water, but does not wet that which it touches and leaves the throat dry and wanting.

Observances:

1. Cannot cast without carrying smokewater on your person.
2. Astral projection is performed by staring into water which obscures its bottom.
3. Wear foreign clothes of rich blue, supplemented by gold jewelry.
4. Must not eat of any creature of the water.

Pinnacles:

Started thinking about how I want to do pinnacles and decided I'd rather have them be a list shared by the entire casting class.
Before this class gets posted, there'll be an updated version of the Soulcaster that includes them.
