Art History

The art of Poison was created by the DreamWright Boric, one of the older SMs. He was a great healer, and would never, and could never hurt a soul whether it be a dreamer or DM. During a stroll outside one evening, he and his wife were ambushed by the Dark Mare Molog. Boric was mortally wounded after the first blow to him. Paralyzed, he watched in horror as the love of his life was brutally torn into pieces by Molog. When Boric regained movement, he was able to counterattack the Dark Mare and heavily damaged it. Molog, however, was able to slip away into the dark surroundings. The SM tried chasing after it, but as much as he tried, the weakness that had overcame him prevented him from doing so. Angry at himself and depressed, he spent years locked up in his own room, trying to figure out a way to hurt an avatar even after a battle. Finally, he created the art of Poison. Once evoked on a dreamer or Dark Mare, the poison would slowly drain the DreamSoul out of the one being poisoned until death ensued.
