Knights who Channel

Of all the people able to tap into the energy flow, the Channel Knight is the most common. These men and women can enhance their combat abilities by casting spells on themselves. These spells use molds just like a mage would, but these molds are far more restricting. No Channel Knight can cast a spell on anyone besides themselves.

Channel Knight spells do not backfire due to the simple fact that they can't access enough power to cause a mold to fail. The most common spells are strength enhancements and defensive shields. More experienced Channel Knights are able to increase their speed and reflexes.

The ranks of lords are filled with Channel Knights. The reasons behind this are many, but mainly due to mages being more concerned with profit than control of lands and people. Knights can sell their talents, but most find it difficult to make large profits just being mercenaries. More powerful Channel Knights tend to try and carve out a territory for themselves to establish their own fiefdom.
