Masters of Silver Tongues, Subtle Influence, and Serpentine Deception

Those bonded to serpents wield magic woven from whispers, emotions, and subtle manipulations. Their tongues carry charm like venom, their eyes coil with hypnotic power, and even in battle they bend minds with feints and illusions. The Serpent Bond excels at social magic, psychological disruption, and battlefield misdirection.
