26.29 The sphere of Animistry.

Animistry is a distinct art. It combines pacifism with an innate altruism and selfless love of life. The Animist devotes him or herself to maintain life, whether it be evil or good. Many a time has an animist been seen in the goblin town, healing the doughty goblins against attack from a Knight committed to stamping a firm morality on the orcish hordes. The Animists are best equipped of all to avoid death at the hands of their enemies - they can become a part of the forests, rendering them almost inviolate to attack and untraceable by most means available to those who might hunt them. If anything, the Animist is the most interactive of characters, since his life is devoted to protection of others - an altruism which extends beyond all other concerns.
