Descripción

A warlock gifted (or cursed) by a celestial or fey patron of art and inspiration

"Ma qui la morta poesì resurga, o sante Muse, poi che vostro sono; e qui Calïopè alquanto surga, seguitando il mio canto con quel suono di cui le Piche misere sentiro lo colpo tal, che disperar perdono." — Dante, Divine Comedy , Purgatory I, 7-12

Theme: The Muse represents a pact with an otherworldly source of inspiration—a celestial being, an ancient spirit of art, or a fey patron of creativity. This pact enhances the warlock's ability to inspire allies and bewilder foes, blending artistry with magical power.

Playstyle: Support-focused on bolstering allies through inspiration and disrupts enemies through beguiling magic.

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Muses (Ancient Greek: Μοῦσαι, romanized: Moûsai, Greek: Μούσες, romanized: Múses) are the inspirational goddesses of literature, science, and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge embodied in the poetry, lyric songs, and myths that were related orally for centuries in ancient Greek culture. The number and names of the Muses differed by region, but from the Classical period the number of Muses was standardized to nine, and their names were generally given as Calliope, Clio, Polyhymnia, Euterpe, Terpsichore, Erato, Melpomene, Thalia, and Urania. In medieval figurative usage, a muse was someone who serves as someone's source of artistic inspiration.
