Soul Stigma Manual

“Adelheid started dabbling in witchcraft from a young age. It is said that every year she would join other witches gathering on Brocken Mountain during Walpurgis Night and lay down with the Devil himself. In exchange, he taught her a very special spell, one that would allow her to leave a stigma on the souls of unaware people.”

“Many men fell for her charm, but Adelheid wanted more. She wanted them to die for her. So she would cast the devil’s hex on them and use their gullible natures to make them fight for her love. Of course, few were truly willing to die – but the witch’s magic ensured that even the smallest wound would prove fatal. Sometimes the bleeding would simply not stop. On other occasions, even a cleaned cut would fester and lead to quick demise.”

“No one really knows how many fools lost their lives in such a way. But one day it came to an end when a travelling priest challenged Adelheid. As usual, before meeting the pious man, she cast the Devil’s hex and made one of her followers injure the interloper. To her surprise, the wound didn’t kill him – he quickly regained health and sought the woman out. Seeing her magic in play and with God’s help on his side, the priest was able to defeat Adelheid. In the aftermath, the witch fled Brunla, never to be seen again.”
