Summoners that specialize in drawing fiends from the pits of a hellscape created through unknowable occult magic, hellcrafters are brutal summoners and powerful commanders. By imbuing a corpse with the spirit of a fiend, hellcrafters create hellspawn, powerful minions that enforce their masters’ will. As a hellcrafter, you can develop your talents summoning a multitudinous swarm of hellspawn, summon one powerful hellspawn champion, or cultivate your skills as a ritualist. You might also embrace the path of the hellbound, suffusing your Essence with energy from hell.
