Arachnomancer Skills
Wielder of spiders... yay
<Octoralis is best spider> —Octoralis
These skills are purposely vague because I'm purposely lazy. Or... (and?) because I need the flexibility to change skills if the story calls for it.
Take what's here with a grain of salt. I would sooner break continuity with
this here fine website than make the story worse.

Octoralis
Resummon Octoralis, the Arachnomancer's core summon and general of spiders.
Soul Spider
A slice of the Arachnomancer’s soul is taken to form his or her Soul Spider, a summoned creature bound to its creator. Unlike normal summons, the Soul Spider does not require mana and can heal over time while desummoned.
Spider Rider
The Arachnomancer is capable of riding spiders large enough to mount. Unlike normal mounts, spiders may climb walls and ceilings. As long as the Arachnomancer intends to remain on the spider, gravity becomes relative.
Vibration Sight
Spiders are incredibly sensitive to vibrations. Even the most immobile and silent things give off a sense of energy, be that from themselves or reflecting the living world.
Arachnomancers gain the sense to visually see vibrations around them. This ability can be focused in any direction or all directions at the same time. Since illusions do not give off vibrations, they are often ineffective.
Attuned Hearing
As all sounds are vibration waves in the air, an Arachnomancer is capable of hearing sounds much farther away than is typical. They can also focus on a specific location up to 300 feet away, allowing for long-distance eavesdropping.
Arachling Language
All spiders in Olindale speak and write Arachling. This passive allows for communication with wild spiders. Further, Arachnomancers can identify spider relics, weapons, armor, and jewelry.
Spider Climb
The Arachnomancer gains the ability to defy gravity, similar to spider riding. It takes a constant focus to bend the laws of physics and affect the relative world. As long as a surface is close enough to touch, it can become the new “down.”
Spider Mastery
Transform into a spider form and enhance all summoned spiders' effectiveness. Summon spiders on any visible web.
Silkbound Synergy
Increase the power of spider-silk equipment, boosting damage, armor, stats, and imbued skills.
Pheromone Perception
