Straddling the line between a mortal and the Gifted, Mahabharati were created with the express purpose of policing the Sorcerers and their summoned servants. Bonded from early childhood to a small elemental that grows and matures as they do, the mahabharati are not quite Sorcerers, but possess instinctive elemental gifts and are entirely at ease when visiting the Elemental Domains. These gifts and the powers of their elemental companions grow with time, experience and mastery, such that the greatest of Mahabharati Warrior Saints more than a match for an errant sorcerer or even a regiment. Even Mahabharati Initiates are dangerous foes on the battlefield, despite the fact that their Elemental companions do little more than enhance their physical prowess. Even so the martial skill, discipline and self mastery they are inculcated in since birth makes them formidable warriors even at this early stage.
