CORRUPT MAGIC Most forms of magic can be used for "evil" purposes, but there are some types of magic that are specifically labelled as corrupt. These areas of magic are forbidden in Van'ostgar. Essentially, corrupt magic is used for evil or selfish purposes. Those who are corrupt are considered to be lacking in certain moral standards. Someone may be considered corrupt if they are discovered to be communicating with demons or worshiping Verena or Aldor. Accusing someone of corruption is considered to be very serious in Van'ostgar. Those who are found guilty of corruption are often put to death. There have been plenty of instances where people have been wrongly accused of corruption, for one reason or another, and were put to death. Corruption can also be referred to as "maleficium." Those who are considered to be corrupt are often called "maleficarum." The following practices can be considered corrupt: -Improper communication with demons -Worshiping of the Goddess Verena -Worshiping of the God Aldor -Using the arcane arts to harm an innocent group or individual -Necromancy -Improper communication with dark spirits -The use of curses and/or hexes -Blood sacrifices -Anything that we might consider to be "black magic" |
