| Notes |
In a Bronze Age city —where massive mud-brick structures, subterranean vaults, and heavy stone columns dominate the skyline—a spirit capable of devouring architecture is a weapon of mass destruction. Often whispered to be a corrupted earth elemental or a minor manifestation tied to the Dark Cults (who seeks to erode civilization from within), this entity is highly prized by the city's more cutthroat factions.
The Mechanics:
Animate (Mud-Brick/Stone): The spirit uses the Animate (Substance) ability to seep into the mortar, load-bearing wooden pillars, and bronze reinforcements of citys buildings.
Curse (Structural Decay): Rather than cursing a living victim, the spirit's Curse ability is directed at the inanimate structure. It drastically lowers the Armour Points (AP) and Hit Points (HP) by the intensity of the spirit of the building materials, causing ancient stone to turn to brittle sand, wood to instantly dry-rot, and bronze to rapidly oxidize.
Steadfast: The spirit has been bound using complex sorcerous wards or an Enchant (Binding) matrix created by a master occultist. This makes it Steadfast—completely immune to standard Exorcism or Dismiss Elemental miracles. It can only be removed by destroying its physical fetish (often a cursed foundation brick planted on-site) or by reducing its Magic Points to zero in brutal, close-quarters Spirit Combat.
