Those who study magic “know” nothing. You are magic. The heir to the endless powers of the primal universe, you will show the world what a true sorcerer is. No stranger to complex family politics and rivalries, the Scion-of-High-Sorcery is often a master manipulator with a long view, dynastic perspective and thinks in terms of generations. Not surprisingly, lineage based reincarnation and parasitic immortality often run rampant through these god-like sorcerer clans and often the ruling bodies of these families are best and worst generation upon generation had to offer. Worlds fall under the shadow of the wills of the Bloodclans of this path.
Role: As a Scion-of-High-Sorcery your role is to be a master of spontaneous arcane power and heritage derived magics. A similar specialist to the archmage, the Scion of high sorcery is living embodiment of lineage and power. She is the blood of the world and the pulse of its magical heart. All others are pretenders.
Classes: Spontaneous casters of arcane sources are almost exclusively the ranks of the Scions. Bards, summoners, bloodragers and others are but a sliver to the number of sorcerers that come to this mythic path.
Worlds and Cabals: Thaonic Auri’kiir are the most common currently active group of Scions, with their ancestral relations the Blood of Ambriddon being a close second. These primal-blooded hedonists are known to send members of their families to locate potential new sources of arcane might to breed into their lines. They will use means as varied as seduction or allegiance to bribes or kidnapping.
Bonus Hit Points: Whenever you gain an Scion-of-High-Sorcery tier, you gain 3 bonus hit points. These hit points stack with themselves, and don’t affect your overall Hit Dice or other statistics.

Blood-Relation[]
Each Scion-of-High-Sorcery path ability may make refence to an effect requiring or target designated as a “Blood-Relation” that is any creature that carries a biological or heritage based link to the Scion. Work with GM to get a sense of who or what is blood-relation to the scion. Generally any spontaneous arcane caster with a biological tie to your character is likely to be a legal target. Some campaigns might also include creatures linked to your bloodline as well.
