Death magic has a complex history and has undergone many transformations in its long lifetime. It is widely considered the first genre of magic ever created, dating to well beyond the time of the Alfen Ancestors . Even back then, those who practiced it refused to acknowledge death as a horrifying concept. They celebrate death in the same way they celebrate life. The mages who find themselves around the arcane art of death notice that it is always vibrant and full of color. There are no blackened corridors and darkened ideals that are better suited for stereotypical necromancy.It takes a rare type of person to specialize in arcana mortis. It is a genre filled with contradictions. These are fundamental rules which all who practice it must adhere to.
