Cabalist

The Cabalist was the second announced character class, after the Templar. The Cabalist is the game's primary spell caster class, and has somewhat reminded former Diablo II players of its Necromancer class, although this class is more about studying demons than the dead. The class was announced to the fan site community in April 6, 2006, and officially announced in a press release in April 11. [1]

Background

The Cabal is an organization that studies the beasts of Hell and uses this knowledge together with arcane practices, and their students, the Cabalists, uses this knowledge to fight the very subjects to their studies with arcane weaponry and black magic. The Cabalists study their enemies so closely that they constantly balance a fine line between good and evil, which has raised some doubts about their loyalty among other classes fighting on their side.

Skills

Summoning

The school of Summoning arts focuses on capturing and dominating the minions of Hell, by summoning them from their fiery homeworld to unleash their fury, but this time against their own kin.

Spectral

The Cabalist makes use of spectral spells fueled by dark energies to inflict great damange on their enemies.

Transformation

The art of Transformation is about modifying the the Cabalist's actual physiology to provide demonic traits, for example by horns or elongated limbs.
