Lore: This spell was invented by the human mage Adam after he convinced the god of Stars and creation, Uli, into giving Adam the power of the Darkstar to store and prevent it from unleashing its wrath upon the universe. But even the pure mind of Adam was not free of taint. The Darkstar latched onto this corruption and fed off of it, growing in his mind. The Darkstar had bent Adam's will and convinced him to take its power for himself and rule over the entire universe, promising that not even Uli could get in his way. Over 350 planets and stars were eradicated by Adam's wrath, finally catching the attention of Uli, the god of the stars appeared to fight Adam and put an end to his rampage. But being one with the Darkstar even one as weak as a human would be a match against the god of creation himself. For a century they fought until the corruption of the Darkstar had melted his mind causing him to weaken and his will to falter leaving many opportunities for Uli to strike. Finally, Adam had been defeated. But Uli had not seen this as a victory but as a failure as he had let a race so prone to corruption obtain the power that feeds off it. A being with endless knowledge had just learned a lesson they would never forget, that even the purest human, will always have a taint in their blood.
Aftermath: Although being a human the Darkstar's energy had burrowed so deep within him that his body was practically impossible to destroy so Adam and the Darkstar were instead placed deep within a tomb that went near to the core of the planet Drakli, Adam's birth planet. But even with a trek most dangerous, a few were able to slip by the primal guards and make it to the crypt itself and the Darkstar that had seeped around the crypt lent them the knowledge to pass on the power to other humans among those in Drakli. No matter how far you bury something it will always resurface and take control, the only way to get rid of it is to face it.
