Spiritborn Mechanics
The Spiritborn's mechanics seem to be mainly focused on a lot of movement attacks, while summoning the powers of the Spirit Guardians.
The Spirit Guardians are meant to really be a part of the combat, which translates in the design of the class.
The Spiritborn can summon 4 Spirit Guardians (Jaguar, Centipede, Eagle, and Gorilla)
Spiritrealm
The Spiritborn harnesses the power of the Spiritrealm. The Spiritborn has an harmonious bond with the Spirit Guardians, who guard the Spiritrealm.
Spirit Guardians are a complex creation of Sanctuary combined with the belief of humankind.
