But admittedly there isn't a lot of precedent for other races reaching into deep troll magic unless we count Wild God or darker druidism magic in the same vein - then Night Elves, Draenei, Worgen, and Pandaren have precedent along with Orcs and of course Trolls and Tauren, plus Kul'Tiran and Mag'har and Zandalari and Vulpera as well. And considering it's a fairly primal class, there's a good amount of other non-playable races in the setting that can make use of it, too. There are a lot of 'hexers' and 'ritualists' and other kinds of dark voodoo npcs wandering around to pick abilities and lore from to flesh out such a class.
