Chaos Magic

Chaos magic stands as one of the darkest and most corrupting forces within the Star Wilds. Often referred to as "Dark magic" or "Black magic," this sinister art encompasses various forbidden practices including blood magic, necromancy, soul manipulation, flesh warping and beyond. Unlike conventional magic, chaos magic carries a heavy price for those who dare to wield it. Those who practice chaos magic often describe hearing whispers in their minds subtlety pulling them deeper into corruption. The magic itself acts like an addictive substance, creating an intoxicating desire for more power that few can resist. The effects of chaos magic on its practitioners are devastating. It literally corrupts both mind and body, warping the user's physical form while gradually destroying their sanity. Most weak-willed mages succumb quickly to this decay, their bodies and minds unable to handle the corrosive nature of chaos magic. Even stronger practitioners eventually show signs of corruption - twisted features, deteriorating mental stability, and an increasing appetite for evil acts. Due to its destructive and corrupting nature, chaos magic has been outlawed throughout most of the Star Wilds major empires. Those caught practicing it face severe punishment, as history has shown that even a single chaos magic practitioner can bring devastation to entire communities. Despite these prohibitions, the allure of its power continues to tempt magic users, particularly those desperate enough to sacrifice their identity in pursuit of power.
