A Source Of Malice
While other runelords abandoned the original sinspawn creation ritual in favor of using minor runewells, Belimarius instead innovated and perfected the original ritual used to create sinspawn, using it to empower a sinspawn through repeated and nested castings. Her knights of malice are washed in the souls of dozens of envious creatures each, reaching greater heights of envy than any other sinspawn.
