Evoker
A man who cries for the dead and the ones they have lost. They raise one hand and summon a field of haze and fog. A battle rages on inside the fog while the man prays for the life of their companions. Hoping not to bury yet another body.
A giggling girl sits in a meadow surrounded by glowing wisps of energy. Chasing and playing as the wisps, seemingly intelligent, make the girl laugh and smile. As they are playing tag, the girl slips down a hill and begins to fall. Before she can hit the ground, a soft gust of wind brings to her to a soft and harmless landing.
A tiefling covered in ash gray tattoos is meditating inside a circle of fire. Out from the fire slithers a serpent seemingly made of pure fire and heat. The serpent wraps itself around the tieflings body adding to their clothing as the tiefling opens their eyes and strokes their new familiar.
Evokers are those that listen to the silence. They speak with the unspeakable and listen to the unhearable. The small spirits that operate on their own every day everywhere around the world guide them with they're knowledge. Each spirit might be small and know little but collected they are strong and wise.
Wisdom from the Small and Many
If you've ever heard the wind blow and thought someone had called your name. You may not have been hearing things. The world is manipulated and controlled by small spirits or motes of energy. Some spirits are alive and thinking. Others are nothing more than raw energy or have no more intelligence than a fruit fly. There is one thing for certain. If you can listen closely enough and if you're patient enough. You can collect what all those spirits know. It's as easy as listening to the silence.
When Silence is Heard
Evokers are the quiet ones in the back of the room talking to the dog at a party. They seem out of place most of the time but once you talk to them you realize they are extremely easy to talk to and awkward in a charming way.
Spirits are attracted to those with nothing better to do. The lonely or lost. The ones who might listen. Evokers are the same way. They crave attention but find it most comforting to be alone. This subtle balance of wishes makes Evokers relatively rare. Requiring both the patience and understanding to listen to the spirits along with little distractions from it.
The desire to meet new spirits or learn more than they could otherwise drives Evokers to adventure into the world. Along with the chance of making new friends or meeting interesting people.
Creating an Evoker
Evokers are beings of patience and struggle. They could have been left to survive the elements as a child, abandoned. They could have been outcasts in their town or village due to some event or even their race. Whatever the means, Evokers are lonely and suspicious of others. Though generally kind hearted due to being subjected to a less than kind life.
Evokers have some kind of connection to the spirits around the world and to the ethereal plane itself. This connection keeps them coming back to the spirits. This could be a lost loved one, a dependence on the spirits guidance, or just a desire for power. These always keep the character tethered to spirits or the spirit world and they always want to enhance their connection to it. Whether thats through brute force or self understanding.
Quick Build
You can make an Evoker with haste by doing the following steps. For ability scores it is recommended that you either have Wisdom or Charisma as your highest stat. Wisdom if you are more spell focused or Charisma if you are more focused on your concentrations. For your background most fitting would be the Hermit. Next choose your spells. For your cantrips choose Conjure Mote, Mage Hand, and Spare the Dying. For your first level spells choose a number of spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + 1. Remember that you can change any of these spells during a long rest, including your cantrips.

Anything that can resonate with you on a personal level. This is used as a basis to communicate with spirits.
Spirit Sense
A creature's spirit can be a potent and powerful thing. You have learned to sense and communicate with surrounding spirits. You have also gained the ability to sense one's own spirit and glean information about them.

Sense Ethereal: As a bonus action you peer into the ethereal plane for a moment. When you do, you can see spirits within a 30ft radius. These spirits can be seen through walls or other solid structures but are obscured by objects that exist in the ethereal plane, such as wall of force. Spirits generally congregate around magic or objects of importance.
Speak with Spirits: As an action, you gain the ability to speak with spirits 10ft around you small or large.

Spirit Concentration
Beginning at 2nd level you have gained the will and knowledge to concentrate specific spirit types into a specific area of your choosing. Whenever you choose to do so as an action, choose a point within 60ft of you that you can see or sense with any available special senses. All lesser spirits of all other types are pushes out of the area and the spirits of the type willed by you are concentrated into the area.
You begin with the ability to concentrate Generic Spirits. Though, at later levels, you will gain a Spiritual Tutelage. Which will grant you an additional concentration type.
Whenever you use your Spirit Concentration (SC), you must finish a long rest to use it again.
SCs have saturation levels. This describes how concentrated the SC is. These saturation levels are listed in the SC. Whenever you use your SC you may expend an additional use of your SC to create an area of a higher saturation level. If you are already concentrating on a SC. You may use an action and expend one use of your SC to increase the saturation by one level. When you do, the duration for the increased level is halved (rounded down).
SCs require concentration as if concentrating on a spell. The duration in which you can concentrate on a SC is described in its saturation description.
Each SC saturation level has a radius in which an area is created. This radius is described in its saturation description. Creatures or objects completely encased by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thing sheet of lead, 3 feet of wood or dirt, or an anti magic field are not effected by the area. However, if at any point the area of concentrated spirits can move around the obstacle, much like water filling an empty space, then the creature or object is effected.
Whenever you are concentrating on a SC you may use your bonus action to move it to another location that you can see or sense with any available special senses. The distance in which you can move a SC each round is described in its saturation description.
Whenever a SC ends. All effects produced by the SC end as well.
Some SC saturations require saving throws or ability checks. When you use such a SC saturation level from this class, the DC equals your Concentration save DC.
Concentration Save DC
Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Spirit Concentration twice between rests, at 10th level, you can use it three times between rests, and at 17th level, you can use it four times between rests. When you finish a long rest, you regain your expended uses.

Living
In a World
Of Noise
When I originally started creating this class I wanted to create a much more functional Summoner type class. One that is very usable and can be thrown into any D&D game. I quickly became more and more interested in the unexplained phenomenon in D&D like spirits. We know they exist but who talks to them.
I had just gotten finished watching the second season of Re:Zero. And I was inspired by the spirit magic used in that world and how you can talk to the various spirits around you. I used these spirits to explain some things in D&D and to help give a class to that character who was always alone.
I really hope you enjoy this class. Use it however you like. And if you make a subclass for it I would love to hear about it!
Remember to listen to your surrounding because it might just know more than you do.
