Erik the Angel Phantom, Level 12

 Erik is still different from the man (ghost) he was at the end of The Broken Bards of Paris. His supernatural powers are grown, and he learned a new kind of “ensemble magic” born from inspiration that becomes stronger when his companions perform together with him. Most of all, adventuring with them has taught him selflessness, compassion, and a bit of boastful joy- and his good deeds have earned him an “advancement of career” in the afterlife. Not only his alignment changes, but new powers will be available to the Phantom, and he will use those powers to inspire and heal afterwards.
