Horrormancy
Utility & Usage
Horrormancy covers a small range of spells. The most common are ones that plague people with visions.Demon Summoning
Demons reside in the Horror Dimension, and with complex horrormancy spells it's possible to drag them through into the Capital Dimension, or any other dimension. It's an incredibly difficult process, and very few can successfully do it. Even fewer can control the demons once they have passed into another dimension.
Nightmares
Had a particularly horrifying nightmare recently? There's every chance you upset a horrormancer somewhere, and that was them getting revenge on you. Horrormancers are able to inject nightmares into the dreams of anyone they like, so long as they can recall the person in their minds. They can't cast nightmares on strangers; the more familiar the person is to them, the stronger the nightmare they can cast.
Users
There are almost no concentrated groups of horrormancers anywhere in the Yonderverse. Typically horrormancers isolate themselves from others, either living in such densely populated areas where they make no significant impact by working in factories and such, or by living so far away from anyone else that they have zero contact with others.
Those that enjoy casting nightmares upon people opt to live in cities and such, as they can come into contact with much more people. Users can be identified by green and brown mottled eyes - it is believed that the corruption caused by practicing this field of magic causes this shift in eye colour. Many horrormancers wear sunglasses or eye contacts to try and hide this.
Social Reputation
Horrormancers are some of the most disapproved magic users in the Yonderverse, simply due to every single user lacking empathy and any sort of love for anyone, or anything. Some feel bad, most try their best never to run into horrormancers, and some actively try and scare off these people.
Mastering Horrormancy
To become a master of horrormancy, one must truly have no empathy. The existence of empathy in one's soul holds people back from progressing as a horrormancer, but those lacking empathy are quickly able to progress into becoming a master. Unfortunately, there is a huge gap between amateur horrormancers and master horrormancers, and the latter is more common.
Nightmare magick. You are a monster and I love it. This is amazing. The lack of empathy is a nice touch as well, gives it some texture, I like magick that has qualities or prices or something like that, tied into it. Changes how people behave, or people have to already be just the right flavor of messed up to use it. Gives it some...texture, some nuance, some substance instead of just whipping infinite power around. So that is a really nice touch, very cool.
Thaaaaank youuuuu! It's fun to write darker stuff >:)
