Some descendants of lycanthropes can awaken the power of their ancestors and benefit from the curse that runs in their blood. These individuals become more and more bestial as their dormant heritage slowly awakens, which they sometimes find hard to control. Lycanthropic bloodline sorcerers rely on their newfound natural savagery in combat and benefit from the defensive capabilities of their ancestors.
