Amplifier
Amplifiers are essential members of any group, channeling energy to enhance their allies' strengths and influence the flow of magic. They specialize in increasing magical potency, creating protective barriers, and even duplicating or intensifying powers to shift the tide of combat in their team's favor. With the ability to detect hidden enchantments, uncover magical histories, and establish mental links across great distances, Amplifiers wield significant influence over magic both in and out of battle. Their presence can turn even the most ordinary team into an extraordinary force.
In Nexus City, Amplifiers are highly valued for their capacity to elevate those around them. Factions like the Forsaken view them as spiritual conduits, while groups like the Azure Syndicate appreciate their skill in amplifying rare magical artifacts. However, this reliance on teamwork can make Amplifiers vulnerable to manipulation or exploitation, as others may seek to harness their unique gifts. If you want to play a character who thrives in a collaborative role—transforming raw magic into something extraordinary and serving as the linchpin of any team—then the Amplifier is the perfect choice.
