Endless Spells of the Harrowmark - part 3

Malevolent Maelstrom

Death energy is manifest in an unstable, all-consuming vortex that pulls the souls of the slain and the spells of the living screaming unto itself, growing ever more unstable as it does so. Surrounded by a profusion of death energy, the maelstrom swiftly grows more unstable. Having gorged itself on magic and the howling spirits of the dead, the maelstrom eventually collapses under the weight of its own existence in a nova of devastating energy.
