Death
“It is one of the greatest truths that all things must inevitably end. At some point we all must grapple with the thought of our own mortality, and the inevitability of Death.”
Death magic thrives in the ability to defy, using vile powers to defile the natural order.
It is able to reap the living and the dead of their peace and prosperity, stealing it for itself.
Due to this however, it struggles to bear sufficient power beyond what it takes from others.
Against fewer foes or in swiftly concluded scenarios, it struggles to attain what it needs.
In essence, Death aims to take the health and prowess of others and relies heavily upon this.
