Enchanter | Transference | Mental | Light |
Enchanters can imbue items with mana to produce magical effects which differ based on the runes on the item. |
Guardian | Enhancement | Life | Earth |
Guardians can manipulate their shroud easier than other attuned and can imbue their strikes with extra mana. |
Mender | Life | Earth | Water |
Menders are potent healers, and can directly heal bones, something other healing Attunements are unable to do. |

Shadows are illusionists and can create solid illusions, unlike other similar Attunements. They can also turn invisible and nullify magic with their Umbral Mana. |

Shapers are capable of forming mana constructs and shaping mana in the air. |
Summoner | Air | Transference | Life |

Hydra Spire (Edria)

The Commander attunement can temporarily expend portions of their shroud to expand the range or area of their spells. |

The Juggernaut can temporarily draw their shroud into their muscles, bolstering their physical strength and speed for a short period of time. |

Scourge | Death | Air | Water |
Scourges can infect enemies with a portion of their shroud, causing long-lasting debilitating effects. |
