Eziah now possesses a healing ring—a gift from a powerful and god-like sorcerer named Sirius. This ring, though plain and simple in design, acts as a potent source of life and energy. When used, it resonates with a white light that finds a wound and heals it, transferring the light from the ring to a creature.

When Eziah’s niece, Sylvia, was extremely sick, she had an absence of light and life energy. Her veins were dark and purple, and her body was dying. Eziah performed a spell to save her, transferring light and life to her, with himself as the source.

Light emitted from Eziah’s chest and was transferred to Sylvia, bringing her health and vitality. In the absence of a large amount of his life energy, Eziah was left with a darkness in his chest. However, Sylvia’s illness rapidly consumed her life force, and only a few months later, she fell sick again. Eziah did the spell again. The light that left his chest was dimmer and weaker, reflecting his own weakened state. It scattered and did not make it to Sylvia.

Eziah was severely depleted of health and life, causing prolonged weakness and illness. In the absence of light and life, the darkness in Eziah’s chest deepened. It will not get worse (unless he does another spell like that), but it is rather like a scar, or old bruises that refuse to heal. As Eziah slowly, slowly recovers his strength and health, his chest becomes less dark, and the pain (like that of nerve damage) becomes less intense.

As of now, two years later, it serves as a painful reminder, and a source of physical discomfort. Eziah hopes that one day it will heal and fade, but until then, he keeps it covered up, or uses illusion magic to conceal it when needed.
