[QUOTE="WhatGravitas, post: 4198745, member: 33132"] [b]Dark Mavens[/b] Dark Mavens are sometimes created when over-confident mages toy around with the forces of death. If they cannot control the flux of necrotic energy, but still cling to life with their cruel will, these unlucky mages spontaneously transform into living rifts into the Shadowfell, living darkness filled with malevolence and hate, absorbing strength and arcane puissance alike. Dark Mavens are usually vaguely humanoidly shapes of pitch black darkness, undulating with sinister energy, and a hint of a grimaced face, shown in the form of flickering purple energy flashes.
