The question of how magic might be presented in the ghoul class came up and I think it'd be cool to see what ideas everyone might have for that.
My thoughts for the lore behind how they could be capable of it is that there are shamans that worship the spirit that turned them, being granted ways to incorporate the magic of this world and twisting it into something usable for them.
When it comes to equiping magickally oriented weapons like a spell book, wands, and staffs I have a few thoughts on how they could be converted into something more appropriate for ghoul.
-Staffs don't need that much to be adapted, maybe allow them to add a crude melee extension to its bottom since their so tall that what we'd call a staff would appear as a walking stick to them.
-Wands could be grafted or fused to the bottom of their forearms with the projecting end sticking out from the bottom of the palm (picture the wrist blades from assassin's creed).
-Spell books could have their words of power lifted off the page and burned into their flesh, that flesh rotting off like in the concept art as you unequip said book.
As for what kind of minions or drones they might generate I've got an idea that might work, SHRUNKEN HEADS. I can't be the only one that remembers that B horror movie from the 90s. Picture numerous shrunken heads hovering around the ghoul with some being responsible for healing, others casting destruction spells and what ever else.
What do you envision for the ghouls that focus on magic?
