Arcane Suppressor are products of magical experimentation gone wrong. Many mage apprentices who have the misfortune of going beyond the safeguards of their master's, find the consequences of unbound magic deadly. Those who survive and cannot shake the thirst for arcane knowledge become Suppressors. Acting as bulwark against dangerous magic some schools train and employ Suppressors as guard for vaults or summoning rituals.
