Elthiadd's Ash (trait)
Named after the Magi Lord Elthiadd who slowly turned to ash from excessive use of Dead Magic, 'Elthiadd's Ash' (or Necronic Skin) is a condition that afflicts many Dead Magi though rarely severely enough to be debilitating. Elthiadd's Ash is characterized by the skin of the hands, mouth, and other power conduits slowly turning black and hardening into a rocky substance that will gradually flake away with ash. Most Magi so afflicted normally begin a strict routine of moisturization and avoid using their power for some periods to limit its affects, but continued and persistent use of powerful Dead Magic will cause the condition to spread to the rest of the body until the Magi is dead.
