Pactmage
Wiki Note: This archetype should not be confused with the Pactmaker class or the Pact Magic system as a whole.
Pact Invocations: A pactmage begins play making a pact with a powerful outsider or creature. While the ultimate nature of this creature is up to the GM, the nature of that creature grants the pactmage access to unique invocations, as detailed below.
This replaces occult knowledge.
