The contractor, a new base class with 3/4 BAB and d8 hit dice, channels the essence of the anime magical girl, with a focus on how exactly she attains her powers. Folding in mechanics from Darker Than Black such as remuneration, the contractor is a universal class that represents neither a wizard studied nor a sorcerer born but any mage whose power was bought—be it willingly or unwittingly. Though the contractor is a weak spellcaster, her magic manifests in a number of other abilities, such as the devastating beam attack and the wide-area barrier. The specifics of her powers vary according to her contract.
