Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Destiny Card Profiles, Continued

The official Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning website has been updated with a new destinies section that provides an overview of the many destiny cards we’ve been profiling here for the last several months, as well as several new ones. Here’s a breakdown of how the destiny card system will function:

Mortal creatures in Amalur believe they are born with their destinies already woven into Fate’s grand tapestry. But when Reckoning’s Fateless Hero dies and is reborn outside the weave, the path ahead is left mysteriously open. By unlocking and exploring Destinies, you’ll plan your own path to victory, outside the bounds of fate.
Destinies allow you to develop and master your personal battle style, crafting your character without the constraints of traditional classes. With Destinies, a battle-hardened warrior can incorporate the stealthy quickness of a rogue and the magical mastery of a sorcerer, or adopt subtle variations of them all. Destinies can grant new powers, bonuses and combat options to help you on your journey through Amalur.
Some of your choices will so profoundly affect life’s fabric that your destiny will be permanently altered through Twists of Fate, unique player bonuses granted at key moments in your adventure.

And here are the associated imagery and overviews for all of the destinies that are new since our last round-up:

Assassin
In addition to a more polished execution of precise targeting, nimble dodging, and a tidy efficacy with deadly poisons, the Assassin’s swift, agile movement aids unnoticed approaches and silent exits from deadly encounters. This effortless grace and style marks the assassin as an ‘Aristocrat of Violence.’
Warlock
The Warlock excels at dealing different kinds of magical damage from afar, while teleporting out of reach. By embracing this Destiny, you regenerate your lost mana at a greater rate, and enhance your Blink ability with poison.
Spellcloak
As a Spellcloak, you are a mysterious and evasive mage of the shadows. You imbue your every teleport with a poisoning effect, and utilize a varied array of grim tools to unleash havoc upon your foes.
Sorcerer
With this Destiny, you are among the elite magic users of Amalur. In addition to supernatural offensive and defensive power, great magical reserves, and improved economy of mana, you also gain an enhanced Ice Blink ability.
Polymath
Your experience with the varied dangers of Amalur has honed you into a dilettante of combat. Felling countless foes has prepared you for any battle.
Slayer
Your knowledge of corporeal damage is absolute, and you promise death through the arsenal of short and long-range options at your disposal. Given the opportunity, your ambush means an enemy’s bloody end.
Crusader
A mastery of war magic allows you to elude your opponents with the ability to teleport a short distance, while exposing them to devastating attacks. Both your defensive and offensive capabilities are increased with your improved control of the arcane.
Paragon
In battle, the Paragon wields an intimidating display of might and sorcery. Besides your natural protection against elemental damage, your ability to gain mana from all attacks directed at you as well as Blink, you are now also well armored.
Conqueror
As a Conqueror, you are an imposing figure, feared by most enemies on the battlefield. Like the greatest warriors of legend, a single strike of yours can stagger your opponent, and even the strongest foe will find it difficult to overcome your defenses.
