Origin of the Arcane Flesh

Sorcerers who bear the seal of the arcane flesh possess a most unusual power.
Cousin of necromancy, the magic that flows through their veins allows them to
manipulate the very flesh that surrounds them. Capable of both the greatest of
goods and the most horrific of acts, its practitioners are rare, and those who have
managed to wield it without dying even rarer.

Once exposed to a strong divine presence, the seal will slowly unweave, liberating
more and more of its powers as the sorcerer progresses. The goal of the ancient
practicioners of this art were to carve the flesh of a god into a spell, and they may
have placed such compulsion into the seal of their descendant to influence their
actions...

The Seal of the Arcane Flesh is not a source of power, but an order, a command. From
unseen masters whose names were lost to time to their farthest children, their legacy will never truly die.

Unless... Unless this child can choose his own destiny. Alone, or thanks to the help of those dearest to him.
