(You can subscribe to it in the middle of your campaign with no ill effects)

New class with custom magic skills. Sorcerer and Necromancer (and Shaman if you use LongWar2) skill trees.

Lore: The demonstration of Psionics by some X-Com agents during the first alien invasion has convinced some people that supernatural abilities do exist. This resulted in renewed faith in the ancient magical studies of Earth. With the combination of ancient lore and the PsiAmps used by the original X-Com 20 years ago, the Necromancers have developed some very real magical abilities.

The class levels up like a normal soldier through missions. No need for a psi lab.

========================================

Custom skills:

Squaddie:Raise Zombie: Raises a human corpse to fight with you.

Necromancer:

Corporal: Poison: Poisons any organic enemy. They suffer -30 Aim and -4 Movement, and take 1 damage per turn. Casting it doesn’t end your turn and has no cooldown.
Sergeant: Strenghten Undead: Enhance the link between the Necromancer and one of his zombies, significantly increasing all of its life stats.
Lieutenant: Bone Armor: Adds 3 armor to a friendly target. This bonus lasts until the end of the mission and can be stacked. 4 turns cool down.
Captain: Hallucinations: A curse that causes a creature to see everyone around him as enemies. It is guaranteed to panic and there’s a chance it will shoot its own friends.
Major: Mass-raise Raise all dead human units in a radius. (Similar to Gatekeeper)
Colonel: Death Touch: The Necromancer has gained a superhuman understanding of life and death. Touch a living creature to grab its soul and pull it out of its body. It dies instantly. It can be used once per battle, from melee range only.
Brigadier: Teleport: Teleports you anywhere in sight. 1 turn cooldown, doesn’t end your turn! As OP as a Brigadier should be.

Sorcerer:

Corporal: Combustion: Deals a small amount of guaranteed damage and sets an enemy on fire.
Sergeant: Drain Life: Hurts and leaches life.
Lieutenant: Lightning: Single target, good damage. Stuns living units and shut down robotics for a turn of two.
Captain: Fireball: 4×4 explosion, Does good damage, sets everything on fire.
Major: Eldritch storm: A gigantic explosion, applying all effects from previous skills. Madness!
Colonel: Soul Spear: Sorcery that fires souls shaped into a spear. Pierces enemies, causing heavy damage. This spell was said to have been devised by a master sorcerer, but his name is long forgotten.
Brigadier: Dominate: Same as the Psi Ops skill.

Shaman:

Corporal: Restoration: Regenerate 1 HP per turn, for 3 turns.
Sergeant: Mist: The Shaman conjures a thick mist around an object and effectively makes it disappear. Grants concealment to a target. 6 turns cooldown.
Lieutenant: Heal: Heals the target for 4 HP.
Captain: Vigor: Imbue a friendly target with renewed vigor. Grants an Action Point.
Major: Spirit Guide: The Shaman calls a spirit to help out in battle. He is able to call out exactly when an enemy might peak over a cover, or where to aim to exploit a weak point. Grants 25 aim and 50 critical chance for 2 turns.
Colonel: Insect Swarm: The Shaman summons a vicious swarm of insects to sting and bite the target. They go for the eyes or any opening in the armor and burrow into the flesh. Deals 2HP damage per turn and distracts the target so they can barely aim or move. (-50 aim, -10 defense, -10 dodge, -7 move speed. Hey, it’s Colonel level!)
Brigadier: Under development
