Description

The Kazar demons use the Kazarak as their primary pawns on this plane. Finding it difficult to physically manifest themselves here, they choose instead to take over the bodies of others, forming a permanent bond between a demon's spirit and the host body.

The bond that ties the Kazar demon to the host kazarak is of geomantic origin. It robs the host of their life, leaving them a murmuring husk of their original self, but in exchange grants them partial use of many of the powers of the Kazar.

Location

The Kazarak do not have a guildhall, but through brute force the Kazar have created a pillar that allows them access to this world so that they can claim a body. This pillar is at 12, -12, 0 in Ebira

Joining

Stand next to pillar. The Kazar are not particularly picky about what bodies they inhabit.

   You feel a probing sensation.

   The probing sensation intensifies.

   The probing sensation grows stronger, causing you some degree of physical
    illness.

   Your breathing slows.

   You feel a slight burning sensation on your skin as thin glowing lines
    begin to appear.

   The lines on your body grow larger and more complex, now covering your
   entire form with an interlocking pattern of runes, as your breathing slows and
   stops.  In your last moments of existence, you feel a malevolent intelligence
   assuming control of your body.  Your consciousness is then consumed by this
   formless horror.

   At last, your opportunity has come to be given a Kazarak body, one of the
   mortal shells altered by the power of your lord the Kazarin to permit your
   bodiless people to inhabit it.  No more shall you exist in formlessness,
   burning with envy of the embodied; now let the world beware, for a kazar walks
   upon it.

You are now a first-degree specialist in cthonimancy, earth affinity, entropic affinity, evocation, pain tolerance, power direction, power tuning, resilience and steadiness.

Note that your alignment is changed to "diabolic" upon joining.

Abilities

As a trans-dimensional demonic entity in a shell of mortal flesh, your new life is going to take some getting used to. The body that you are using will not repair itself or recover energy like it did while it was alive, and to preform either of those tasks requires a direct infusion of your power. This is done with the commands 'repair' and 'revitalize'. Your own power is limited and you can only put so much energy into repairing the body without breaks. A corpse requires no sustenance, so there is no need to eat or drink. Your own essence will still need energy, and there are two useful sources in this plane, magic items and the souls of the recently dead. Once a magic item is in your hands, the command 'consume <target>' will break it down to raw power and transfer that back to you. The draining of souls is part of the general 'drain' power below.

The original soul that animated the flesh is gone, devoured by you as you broke into this world. It can never come back. However your own powers are only linked to the body by the runes that exist in the flesh, and these provide only a conduit for your power. Attacks against this conduit will be very dangerous to you. The raw power of the runes also interferes with the operation of other magic around your new body. Long term protection or auras will fail if they attempt to protect you.

You can force energy into the body for purposes other then healing. These are refered to as "charges".

You can also drain energy out of the environment, physical objects or even the minds of beings. This is preformed by the 'drain' command.

• Drain Soul

drain soul from <target>

This power is used by the kazarak to consume the souls of fallen foes. It is used to provide the Kazar with energy, some of which is shared with the host.

• Drain Structure

drain structure from <target>

The greater Kazar can convert some physical objects into energy, most notably items bearing a magical enchantment and the physical forms of living beings. While the stagnant energy structure of the greater Kazar disallows them from converting the bodies of victims into useful energies, they can convert some of the physical structure into energy which harmlessly dissipates into the surrounding area, leaving the victim without part of hir physical structure. This is one of the most common directed attacks utilized by the kazarak, gaining in effect as they increase their energy control powers. It is most often manifested as a bolt or field of dark energy as light and material is consumed between the kazarak and the target.

• Drain Sense

drain sense from <target>

By more precise focussing of energy consumption, a kazarak is able to rob an opponent of the energy channels required for perception. This has the effect of rendering a target much less sensitive to the surrounding world, and at high skill levels can cause blindness.

• Drain Psyche

drain psyche from <target>

By specifically targeting their energy drain capabilities and focussing only on the psychic energy channels of a target, a kazarak may cause serious damage to the mental capacities of an opponent. This is a highly complex power, and requires a great deal of skill and practice to be able to utilize.

• Drain Vitality

drain vitality from <target>

By targeting their energy drain capabilities and focussing only on the life-giving energy channels of a target, a kazarak may cause a target to lose some of their physical capacity. While not nearly as damaging as the direct attacks to the structure of a target, it is extremely debilitating, causing targets to weaken, and rendering them incapable of rapid movements and reactions. This power is very taxing, and requires a significant skill level to properly activate.
