You headed to the city library, a task that was easier than you thought.
asking a couple of times for directions and you arrived quietly.
Along the way you stopped at some stalls to pick fruit for potatoes.
He seemed content to be able to eat again, although he did ask that you let him eat some souls.
you told him no, since it doesn't seem like a need for him.
The library was a large brick building containing an acceptable variety of books.
Although the more time you spent studying the more you realized it was incomplete.
There were many books on magical foundations, but researching demons was a Herculean task.
[special interaction with "Spell crafting"]
Of magic, you have little to learn from the basics.
it's all rather more ritualistic than a true understanding of what runes do.
and the theories of why the system is like this are contradictory.
Some say it's the power of Gaia's dream, others say it's the side effect of the god of magic's existence.
although there is something useful.
All the churches of this god forbid using magic in excess, even preventing certain runes from working.
they justify themselves by saying that the "system" should not be abused.
You get the impression that this god is resentful of his role.
spell learned:
<Anti-magic sphere = [4 Aberrance] (Range: Medium) (All magic is destroyed within the sphere)(duration 5 min)(centered around caster)>
(Roll 21 learned only of ferals.)
Your investigations into real demons take you in another direction.
The ferals.
fragments of society that have become savage and sadistic.
The reason for this is unclear
what you do read about them in adventurer's guides, is that they are capable of using fairly powerful magic.
you want to take this threat seriously but they remind you quite a bit of the cannibals in The Forest.
There are many other creatures that consume human souls as food.
like Potatoes, which from what you read, they consume them for the taste.
But ferals are the only ones who go out of their way to cause suffering.
There was also another thing, but you only managed to get glimpses in some religious texts.
The early parts mention gods killing demons, but that was before the elves and the Tyr.
So it was something that preceded humans.
You could only find fragments mentioning these things.
So the term demon may have been aplied to humanity for being another adversary to the gods.
You wanted to research more, but there weren't that many religious texts here.
