->For years, [[EvilSorcerer Nagash]] lived like a hermit in a cave in the side of Cripple Peak, meditating on the nature of magic, drawing wisdom from the dark well of his corrupt soul. He explored the lightless lake beside which the great bulk of the [[GreenRocks warpstone]] lay.

->The years wore relentlessly on, and the constant exposure to [[ToxicPhlebotinum warpstone]] wrought terrible changes in the Great Necromancer. His skin withered and cracked and sloughed away from his bones. In places it became translucent, leaving muscles and veins exposed. [[EyeScream His eyes melted]] and became [[GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath pools of luminous pus in their sockets]]. His nails grew longer and [[FemmeFatalons became talons]], his fingers curled into claws. His heart stopped and his blood ceased to flow.

Every magus lived with the fear of change - we had all seen [[BodyHorror the warped flesh and bizarre mutations]], the seeping wounds and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity howling madness]] that resulted from somebody using more power than their Gift could handle. Even if they somehow pulled back from going over the edge, it always changed a magus.
