Identity
Disciple of Varashta is Sorceress's summoner Ascendancy: instead of the elemental self-scaling of Stormweaver or the time control of Chronomancer, it commands one of three elemental Djinn companions, layering Energy Shield onto Armour for physical mitigation and stacking Mana as an offensive resource alongside a Staff-and-Focus dual-wield trick.

Practical notes
- Sacred Rituals and Instruments of Power both push toward a hybrid Energy-Shield-plus-Armour defensive layer, which is a different defensive shape than either Stormweaver or Chronomancer lean on — worth planning gear around specifically if you're picking this Ascendancy.
- The Djinn choice is a real build-defining fork, not a minor flavor pick — each one's three command skills serve a different role (offense, sustain/control, or minion/debuff), so it's worth deciding your Djinn before committing to a skill setup rather than picking one arbitrarily.
- If you're planning a build around a specific Djinn command skill's exact numbers (a cooldown, a stack cap), verify it in-game first — the three Barya notables above are the one part of this page still resting on a single source.
