Well, that works. I'll post the traits and skills and everything once I feel like it's ready to be shared.

I wrote up an elite spec concept called the Pandemonist, which wields a Shortbow and gains access to the Arcane skill category. It overhauls Illusions and Shatters, and it's themed around manifesting concepts that contradict fundamental rules of reality. Other common themes include temporarily manipulating probability, creating paradoxes, and overwriting the laws of physics. Take any rule or law that governs reality and the Pandemonist messes with it. However, I'm not sure if this spec fits Mesmer. Inspiration for this elite spec concept was taken from The Secret World, in which there is Chaos Magic; a type of magic that revolves around small-scale reality warping. I'm aware that Chaos Magic is already one of Mesmer's trait lines, but that works differently from TSW's Chaos Magic. I wanted to make this spec less about applying random boons, and more about contradicting reality. My question is this: Is this a fitting power for Mesmer to have? Does it not seem Mesmer-y to have this sort of reality-breaking power? If not Mesmer, then which class would fit better? I have everything written out. I've written out all of the Pandemonist's weapon skills and utility skills, and I've written out all of the traits and the changes to Illusions and Shatters. However I'm hesitant about sharing it, because I'm having second thoughts on whether or not the Mesmer should have this power.
