Demonic Being

Some wizards, in their unquenchable thirst for power, delve into forbidden knowledge that leads them down a dark and perilous path. These practitioners of forbidden arts embrace their inner demons, forging a pact with malevolent entities from the Abyss, granting them dark powers and a terrible transformation.
