Battlemage Paths and Talents[edit]
At each class level, the Spellbreaker gains a Talent Point. These are meant to be spent customizing your abilities, as shown here.
At the start of each day, a Spellbreaker chooses two Battlemage Paths, selected from those listed below. Once chosen, they can allocate their Talent Points into the abilities of these two Paths as they please; Once spent, they remain allocated until the Battlemage rests for 8 hours.
