Chapter 107 - Insanity From Within

A heartstone carrier is inevitably a magician who will grow up with two hearts: his normal, blood-and-flesh human heart, and his molten heartstone. This dual heart syndrome has the possibility to cause a multitude of health issues for the heartstone carrier when he attempts to perform natural or any other magic aside from shadow magic, as the bodily, mental, and spiritual systems utilized for such magical fields are entirely separate from those utilized for shadow magic. Heartstones carry yet immeasurable, thickly concentrated amounts of chaotic, dark spiritual energy. This chaotic spiritual energy is, of course, best suited to the practice of shadow magic.
