Diabolical Magicana

Infernal welders are the most evil, corrupted, sadistic and violent wizards of all. Dark magic utilizes the devastating power of oblivion, a force that seeks nothing but death and destruction. Witch-hunters all over the world seek out and burn on the stake hundreds of Dark Wizards, for the practice of Dark magic has long since been forbidden among most races. But this is still not enough to dissuade the many who nevertheless seek to master it, blinded by its promises of supremacy and power. Dark Magic is as varied as are the forces of evil, it allows to summon undead creatures, bestow terrible curses and spread pain and havoc among opponents. They channel the deadly forces of evil into spells that wreak pain and misery onto opponents, in the form of curses and maledictions.

This victim gains a Will saving throw to resist the effects. If they pass they cancel the entire spell and it does not affect the others around them. However if they fail the spell then spreads out like a disease by firing smaller rays from the head of the first individual affected to strike all allies within 1 metre per WIS of them.

The intestines have an AC 10.
Invite Daemonic Possession	Range: Self Duration: 1 hour per WIS Save: None Mana: 40 This spell is used by the caster to allow a lesser daemonic presence to enter his mind and control it.

In this case the two bargain, and the daemon will often teach the caster a spell or give them some piece of important knowledge in exchange for the use of the practitioners body. Since it has the willing assistance of the caster, it may also use any skills of the practitioner as well as access to all the practitioner's knowledge and experiences. Once the task is completed the daemon may leave the body if it has a beneficial relationship with the caster. However after the allotted time is up, the daemon will usually leave the body whether or not the task was completed. However daemons like running amok and may on occasion refuse to relinquish control In this case the round after the daemon refused to leave, the caster may seek to contest the daemon's control. The second way to use it is to force the daemon into him and steal all his powers for the duration.
