Arcana of Ithia: The War Blinks.

War Blinks are casters that serve as highly competent commanders of the Orkish hordes.  They rely less on spells and more on projecting their spirit. War Blinks can mark underlings, allowing them to see through their eyes. They are powerful puppetmasters but have few offensive magical abilities. Their support magic is dangerous, and they can often fight almost as well in the body of another ork.  

War Blinks bind their soul to their servants through a mark, allowing them to see through their eyes, possess their bodies, and summon shadowy crows infused with blood. Their main and only magical offensive means are their familiar crows, which peck and slap with sharpened wings. War Blinks if their main body is slain, but they can be revived by their subordinates, though it can take a while to get used to new bodies, and they can be limited by their new body’s mental acuity and physical ability. War Blinks’ magic tends to strengthen and enlarge the bodies they possess, giving them their full power to some degree. 

War Blinks are a natural spell caster that rarely shows up in Greyskins. They have no formal rank or organization.
