GLORIOUS PORPOISE -
AKA slightly modified Spirit Warrior

This is a pitch. If it doesn't work, totally cool. I've got backup plans (wow what if you could throw an anchor shield like in popular video game Dragon Age Veilguard). I probably won't pull the trigger immediately.

Based off Spirit Warrior / Seekers inviting Faith spirits
Flavour is more interesting to me than the details of abilities

IC Explanation:

The current thinness of the Veil, and Cedric's growing Anchor, will bring him to the attention of a Spirit of Purpose. I've hinted at this in tags a little. He wants to leave the Order, and it'll make him an offer. If he quits, it'll help him keep helping.

Is it temporary possession, or channeling (a la spirit healer) or something else? I'd have fun leaving it vague IC, if possible, but I'm also cool to commit.
It's beginning voluntarily, regardless. I'm not looking to rip off Lucanis' bit.
I like fallout, but I know that stuff has to stay on rails to keep Cedric playable. Happy to hew to whatever would be necessary, there.

Purpose

A spirit, not a demon, but that distinction doesn't always seem to mean a lot.
The Purpose we meet in lore is both knightly, and not nice.
While it's starting off chill, it's an alien being, and less flexible than a mortal
Holding back, taking extended vacays, and lying about his beliefs might become more difficult for Cedric long-term

Limitations

Someone who can sense spirits in the waking world would notice its presence when it exerts itself, or in the Crossroads.
Makes his eyes glow in an obvious way, to disincentivize its use in all combat.
Anti-magic abilities can shut all of this down.
It doesn't work if the spooky ghost is mad at him that day.

Abilities:

RELENTLESS PURPOSE | Passive

While possessed, Cedric can briefly push past physical limitations and injury.
This isn't "healing it", this is "ignoring it" — if you try to fight on a broken leg, you're going to have a bad time in a minute when the spirit goes home.

SHROUD | Active

Based on Beyond the Veil.
While active, Cedric appears partially incorporeal, as a shifting cloak of the Fade makes him much more difficult to hit.
He's not Fenris: He can't control the area that's affected, and he won't phase through a wall or whatever. It's just a lot harder to stab him than usual.

+ HUNGRY GHOST | Passive

Based on Soulbrand.
While Shrouded, Cedric displaces energy from incoming spells into the Fade.
This grants some resistance to magical attacks. It's not as reliable or complete as lyrium, Seeker abilities, or dispelling.

ONE FOOT IN | Active

Fade step lite. Only works if Shrouded, and can't be used to exit a fight.

I'm interested in adding to this with his future remaining spec slot down the line, if there's room without unbalancing him.
