Ascendancy Suggestion – Exorcist (Possible Shadow Theme?)

If the unannounced Shadow-style class from Path of Exile makes a return in Path of Exile 2, I think an Exorcist ascendancy could be a really cool and unique direction.

Not necessarily a traditional holy warrior, but more of a dark, battle-hardened fighter who hunts corrupted souls, banishes spirits, seals curses, and turns demonic or supernatural powers back against enemies.

I know PoE’s world isn’t centered around demons or “prime evils,” but corruption, possession, spirits, undead, and dark entities are still a big part of Wraeclast’s atmosphere. An Exorcist could fit that gothic theme really well.

Could focus on things like:

* Cleansing or consuming curses for buffs
* Marking corrupted enemies for execution
* Banishing spirits or weakening possessed enemies
* Sanctified zones, protective seals, or reactive defenses
* Summoning purified spirits after killing cursed enemies

Just thought it could be a really flavorful ascendancy if Shadow returns.
