Monk

The Monk is the second-class advancement of the Acolyte, attaining mastery over unarmed and barehanded combat. Where Priests channel divine power through spells and blessings, Monks transform inner energy — called spirit spheres — into devastating physical techniques. They generate, store, and weaponize spiritual energy through a disciplined combo system that chains simple strikes into powerful finishers.

Monks are aggressive melee fighters with access to movement abilities, utility, and a handful of powerful buffs. Their signature mechanic revolves around summoning and spending spirit spheres. Managing sphere count is central to playing a Monk effectively.

Monks can advance to Champion (their transcendent class).
