Death Magic (Burned-Mane Canon)

Death Magic is the frightening ability to kill anything by draining it of life, it has been shown to cause plants to wither and the already deceased to turn to dust in it's wake.

Other Names

 * Black Arts, by Lilim Nelthar.

Description
Death Magic is a forgotten and forbidden kind of magic that allows the practitioner to kill anything it touches. However, certain Magic Items should be able to protect people from the effects. It is difficult to control and no one has ever managed to keep it fully controlled, causing it to burst out randomly, killing anything within a certain radius of the caster. Nelthro originally theorized that it causes rapid ageing by manipulating the currents of time within a being but it was later proven to be a kind of magic that saps the life from it's victims, absorbing it, similar to the draining ability that most Vampires possess.

History
It is debatable where Death Magic originally came from, but it was presumably first discovered and invented by Naritin Nelthar, and only ever passed down to his granddaughter Lilim, prior to 194 when Naritin initially discovered it, no other practitioners had been known and no records of this magic seemed to exist, not even within the college of whispers.
