Sorcery


Such simplicity? But see! The geometry is warped, betraying even numbers. Peer into the talismanic Eye (of Dischord, of Faithlessness) and feel the obscene tug of “magic.”

Necromancy—the use of the dead for divination and influence—is symbolized by the four stark spurs that lead to the corners of time and place, ravening with imagined power. Surrounding them is a web of perverted faith, sagging under the weight of its heresy. Attend in particular to the negative forms (candle flames? hatchet blades?) and the malice they imply.

The Sorceror’s gaze looks inward, seeing nothing.
