This sounds very cool, especially from what I've heard from a friend who is a patron but I'm very confused by the use of the name Anchorite for one of the wizards. An anchorite is an extremely specific thing, a Christian hermit that sealed themselves in a cell attached to a church or monastery. Why use this word if not doing the actual highly specific anchorite thing, and not a more general word such as hermit?

He's a hermit who is anchored to a specific place and wields power through how he projects outside of it! That said, it's a name I'm not 100% satisfied with and may change in future drafts.

I see - my friend had said that he wasn't literally anchored to a specific place, just metaphorically, so that had bothered me because of how specific the concept of the anchorite is. Thanks for the info!

Did the Anchorite evolve into any of the current playbooks, or was it abandoned entirely?
