For what its worth, Pathfinder's Magus is a direct rip-off of the 3.5 PHB2's Duskblade class. The Magus has much better flavor, but D&D did do it first.
Also, duskblades are totally "desceneded from eleven traditions" flavored. :p
A good start! Given that they are Chaotic Evil, I don't think these beings are primarily compelled by typical ideas of love or beauty.
-Edit-
Content added to improve positivity. ;p
Congrats to everyone who has contributed so far - Three cheers for the Third Party!
Echoing what has been stated above, thank you everyone who read and voted for The Art of Peace and A Paladin's Dark Vows. These are my first published works and I thank everyone who has helped make that...
