Heretic Magic

The Followers of Maloros are a cult of mages who study and use Heretic Magic. The cultists refer to their magic as Malor, after its founder, Maloros, whom they worship as a god. They are located throughout Numaria, with the largest and founding chapter rumored to be headquartered in the province of Belas. The Maloran cult, the use of its practices, and the worship of Maloros are forbidden throughout Numaria.
Guided by the ancient and cursed teachings of a Praetari demon, a Knostian by the name of Maloros created an evil bastardization of magic in order to obtain the full power of the Numares. Malor, widely known as Heretic Magic, requires usage of the blood of other numari to gain their abilities.

Practice

In order to practice Malor, the user must speak the words of an ancient spell in Old Numarian, and drink the blood of another numari to gain their magic.

• A significant amount of blood must be drawn - enough to seriously harm the donor.
• Drinking one’s own blood has no effect.
• The full quantity of blood within an adult male is enough to sustain Malor for approximately three days. In the interest of conserving blood supplies, Maloran Cultists will often keep prisoners and draw blood over time to use when needed.
• Those who practice Maloric Magic have been known to lose their sanity over time with continuous use.
• The form the Malor will take depends on the magical affinity of the blood that was used.
• Non-numari may practice Malor.
