Fiction:Descension

"DEATH! DARKNESS! SHADOW! I am feeling myself reborn."

- Telfinne after finding a Doomstone

Descension is a process of corruption of a mortal person into a demonic being. Descended beings become immortal and gain new powers as they progress in gaining demon energies. Unfortunately, it also corrupts user, making him darker in personality. In fact, higher states of Descension are only aviable for evil or chaotic beings. It also corrupts body as well, mutating it to fit the body.

How to Descend
Descension is a strange and evil process, and it is hard for a person to survive it. To start process, there are several ways how to do it.

Doomstones
"Oh, shiny!"

- Hez'Kalka, moments before he became a demon.

Doomstones are ancient relics of the past, parts of Xhodocto essence. Finding one unleashes it, transforming a user. Xhodocto sometimes give these relics to their most devoted followers, but many Doomstones lie in unknown regions, waiting to be picked up. Hez'Kalka and Telfinne gained their powers due to Doomstones.

The Corruption
The Corruption is another common way to descend. Already descended follower can grant a part of his/her power to another person. This process actually kills a wannabe descendant only to be "ressurected". Tyraz, Tricarrion, Zavhros and Lezia were corrupted. However, they are generally not as strong as Doomstone-powered descendants.
