Saint Queen Catherine, Level 1

Aaron Hollingsworth wraps up his team of Shakespearian heroines in The Broken Brides of Europe with a lady directly from a history play: none else than Queen Catherine of Aragon. Abandoned by her husband after years of love and war, dead old, alone and embittered, this proud woman is offered not only a new live but a new, young and beautiful body in the Napoleonic era to accomplish a saintly mission where the soul of a continent is at stake. It will be hard for her to adjust to her new role…

I needed an unarmored archetype and a focus on spells and channeling for this build, while still being able to use weapons effectively. I hope I managed to capture the spirit Aaron intended for her.
