Lore:
A vocal mystic who channels emotional resonance and songline magic to support allies and manipulate foes through harmonies that calm, bind, or shield. Masters of echoing emotional fields, unlocking hidden truths, and crafting Ashchords to open sealed soul-doors, they embody archetypes like Lament Weavers, Voicewrights, and Resonant Healers. The Chorusbound do not wield spells like normal spellcasters, but stories, verse, and rhythm. Their voice shapes morale, memory, and truth. They carry ancestral songs in their throat and shape the will of others through harmony.

Core Abilities:

Ballad of the Broken Cycle: Inspire nearby allies with temporary HP (+75%) for duration of combat.
Dirge of the Forgotten: Demoralize enemies within range using haunting song. If prepared before battle their initiative is incapable of being higher than 5.
Harmonizing Ashcord: Mimic speech or tone to empower an ally's next Charisma check gaining advantage.
Name Echo: Invoke a fallen name to inspire advantage on next action this action consumes the name making it 'lost' to them.

Unique Feature:
Gravestone Verse – Once per day, sing a name into the Cycle. If an ally, they gain death save advantage; if an enemy, they suffer fear-based vulnerability.
