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.

|When you use Soulbind, you may touch four or more corpses. If you do, rather than creating one Hellspawn Champion, you create a Hellspawn Swarm, or your "Horde". The swarm uses the stats of a hellspawn with a ML equal to or less than ½ the number of hellcrafter talents you have.

You may spend 2 AP on each of your turns to cause the swarm to make one of its attacks.
