#dimir posting

I looted a trinket of theirs from the structure-wreck, and in trying to cast the spell within, I learnt it can be a source of mana as well. But the power that it creates is... cold. Alien. Empty, like a dreamless sleep.

Part of that feeling may be that it is spellcraft from a plane unfamiliar to me. But it has an undeniable similarity to the dark forces of my world, which I have spent my life trying to ward off and evade. Demons, lich-lords, bone-hoarding kathari and withering specters.

Warily, I have conducted experimentation upon the Dimir artifact I looted, and slowly but surely, I have managed to cast the spell stored within. I dared not channel black magic myself, but the trinket's own power proved sufficient for that component of the spell, and...

The trinket itself transformed into a... creature. It is something like a lizard, and something like a sea monster, of the sort we have on Grixis. In that the details of its form escape both description and mental retention. But it certainly had... lizard-like qualities of some sort... I think.
