The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

White Wizard
White wizards, also called Hierophants, are among leaders of the never ending war
against Chaos. They tirelessly track down every taint of corruption and are the greatest
enemies of warp-born Daemons. This power comes to them by Hysh - the white Wind of
Magic, considered to be the most powerful but also the most difficult to control. It represents
light, not only in the literal sense, but also the concepts of purity, enlightenment,
order and tenacity, and is the complete opposite of the unpredictable energies of Chaos.
White Wizards use their magic to fight the Ruinous Powers, but also to heal and
guide those lost in darkness - here their methods differ from witch hunters, for
whom death in flames is the only redemption.
