The Despoiling

Mortals took on the false sparks he had given them and slowly some of the populace began to see that mortals could rise to the heights of gods... he would have to show them that they also had the potential to fall as gods did. For gods were but mere men, who were simply around longer - he should know... or not.

And so Wigbach whispered through hungry stomachs and false beliefs the secrets of despoiling.... and some heard, some turned a deaf ear towards it. But some heard...

The Call

Wigbach heard the call, but it had called him lord. He was no lord nor god of evil... he was nothing... he did not care.. and so he did not go.

Create fabled concept 4: Despoilers are those, who draw their power from sacrificing the lifeforce inherent in all things to fuel their spells, including their own at times; By augmenting their own magic they deplete the water, minerals and life-force of everything around them. People feel hungry the soil stops providing nutrients necessary to grow and the water loses its oxygen making life impossible. Any magician of any type can be a despoiler.... all it means is it boosts previous magic to unimaginable levels... by making the world a slightly worse place to live.

Up to you if any of your magicians becomes a Despoiler. Just remember its not a separate magic nor is it inherently evil. But each use of it makes magic much much stronger but makes the surrounding area that much more unsuitable for life.
