-    description= _ "Orcish Shamans are the guardians of orcish magic. Respected among orcish tribes, they form the Orcish Council, which makes important decisions for the whole Orcish community and arbitrates the many conflicts that arise between tribes of this argumentative race. Although physically weak (for orcs), Orcish Shamans are good spell casters and can curse their enemies, draining their life. Adepts are the novice shamans, still young and vigorous, but their spell-casting ability still needs improvement."
+    description= _ "Female orcs with spiritual leanings may find themselves inducted into the arts of orcish sorcery. Initially called Adepts, these newly-trained orcs gain a curious influence over the shamanistic forces that separate life from non-life. Directed inwards, this art gives them great resilience against most forms of magic. Directed outwards, it grants them the fearsome power to siphon life from their enemies.
+
+Although physically frail compared to other orcs, this shamanistic art makes even a freshly trained Adept a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield."
