in a world where one in four people have the innate ability to create magic (and just about everybody has the skill to use magic), there is a coven named amyranth. while traditional methods of harnessing magical ability come through 'ambient' rituals (i.e., drawing power from natural, everyday tasks, such as using a spool to symbolically 'knit' spells into creation or using different oils to strengthen protective runes), the wayward coven of amyranth believes in one rule: knowledge is power, and power is infinite. the members of amyranth practice not only 'leeching' magics that drain whole towns dry and create earthquakes that fissure the earth, they also break one of the key elements of witchcraft: to never disrupt the balance of nature. each amyranth coven member is given, upon initiation, a coven name and the ability to shapeshift into an animal of their choosing with the understanding that they will serve without question. in exchange for this animal freedom, the members of amyranth work towards harvesting power — and, yes, leeching it from not only the soil but also other people. born of a bloodline steeped in magic that has been ravaged by rival covens over time, charlene joined amyranth as a young girl in the hope of not only garnering power but also finding the means to exact revenge on witches from those guilty clans. possessed of a power forged by hate and shaped mostly by bitterness and anger, charlene's magic is neither free nor unfettered; instead, it is dark, thick and smothering and many of her covenmates take measures to avoid her. that being said, she sees amyranth as the means of her empowerment and a substitute for the family she has lost. as a result charlene is doggedly loyal to its cause, punishing those she views as its enemies just as readily as she woud punish her own. given the nature of power, charlene's magic manifests through dreams — specifically as nightmares which sap both mind and body. the weaker her victims the become, the stronger, more violent and ravenous the nightmares become, feeding off the basest and most guttural fears it can find until its victim is devoured whole. |
tá eagla orm ; fear is upon me.
