I'm playing as a Cleric in a Dark Souls based campaign. The character's a member of "The Way of White". I'm curious how to characterize him slowly falling to the influence of "the deep". As the campaign goes on I'm gaining access to a variety of the "dark miracles" from dark souls. These are quite useful cause they're more offense focused as you might expect. (The DMs giving us access to both spells in the normal DnD books as well as a variety that have been pulled from Dark Souls). I get the general gist of how you'd portray someone gradually losing themselves but I figure it might be fun to ask the community how they'd handle this. References to existing Dark Souls Lore would be greatly appreciated if you're aware of any, however I'm as aware as anyone who plays a lot of Souls that a lot of the Lore has to be inferenced from the sparse references across item descriptions and such. Our Campaign is primarily combat-focused, however, there is also the occasional chance for some roleplaying focus so I wanna try to make those count, or come up with some ways to convey I'm losing it during combat.
