-->Artefacts & Objects of Legends<--
->Robe of the Void<-
"Reputed to have been created by the most powerful Necromancer to have ever existed, this unusual raiment seems to be woven from pure shadows, any torn or ripped sections instantly begins to patch themselves. The Robe both sustains and amplifies ones magic capabilities by absorbing magic in the air and spells used against you. The Necromancer was unfortunately not aware of the true nature of the void and was consumed by it. While unsuitable for a human, a Mole can fully utilize this dark vestment's true power without fear"
[Current Location] The Robe is currently in the ownership of the Blaque Clan.
->The Skull of Kah-Yorn<-
"Taken from the remains of the first Mentalist ever born, the Skull of Kah-Yorn holds even more arcane secrets than the Grand Library. Even after his death, the Mentalist's power echoes for eternity in his skull, those that have tapped into this power have gained knowledge thought long lost... at the price of their inevitable insanity creeping upon them. Wisdom is never free."
[Current Location]The Skull was last seen hurled into the chasm of the banished.
->The Ebon Reaver<-
"The first & most powerful Runic Weapon ever in existence, forged from the most pure of dark iron, the sword embodies the ravenous energies of the Void Altar, a set of runes adorns the blade to harness the everlasting energy. Feeding on whatever energy sustains the struck creature, be it blood, soul or magic. Through unexplainable events, the blade was lost and no traces of it remains, the short time it was wielded plunged the Reaver into the tales of Legends. Whoever wields the blade wields Death in it's purest incarnation."
[Current Location]Long lost, only rumours exist.

-Mole Anatomy-
As i mentioned earlier, we had some differences in body structure. Depending on the state of the Mole, this is more obvious and as such, i will elaborate the differences seen from stage to stage, but first some shared attributes.
Each Mole have a grey/dark skin colour, our hair is mostly darker colours, the innate darkness of Subterranea prevents us from having more colourful tones. Our skin is rough, almost leatherlike on touch, but by eye it almost look like yours, humans. Eye colours can be blue, white or in some cases, red. Our ears can catch up very silent sounds, but we have very sensitive hearing, we all have claws, the strength of these depends on our place in society, which are these:
Commoners: See above
Followers: Slightly taller, the claws grow more durable & sharp.
Dark Born: Longer, sharpened & nigh-indestructible claws & toenails, but can still be trimmed, the vocal chord is darkened resulting in commanding voices, the skin is toughened and can absorb moderate amount of pain, we stand at around an impressive 2,5 metres in height.
We can live from anywhere from 500 to 1000 Years, depending on how healthy we are. Our regenerative system is extremely potent, smaller wounds heals themselves in minutes & limbs can grow back after some weeks. When furious, a Mole will show his/her fangs and the eyes will redden into a Blood-like colour.

-The Sun to us Moles-
Hssss... We do not understand how you can live with this eternal pestilence Humans! The sun is not lethal to us, but does induce great pain the longer we are in contact with it. The symptoms of Sun Hysteria is these:
-Upon touch: Shadow magic is unable to be called upon
-The first minutes: Mild pain & skin irritation
-1 Hour: Moderate nausea & dim vision
-3 hours: Heavy nausea & weakened
-6 hours+: Temporary blindness, critically weakened and unable to cast magic, difficulty to speak.
-If a amplyfing Sunlight Glyph is cast on you: White-hot fire will burn your skin, unrelenting and cannot be doused, The agony... Is beyond words.
-if a dampening Sunnlight Glyph is cast on you: No symptoms of Sun Hysteria except the temporary loss of Shadow Magic
The only cure is immersion in the purifying darkness that veils the Depths.

While being burned by the sun with the Sunlight Glyph, are the flames deadly, or only tormenting?
Also, how are the claws of a Dark Born trimmed? (I'm guessing they're harder than most metals.)

--<<Arcane-Based Magic>>--
Among the spells we've found in your spellbooks, Humans, We've improved upon some of them and even weaved our own, here is a few.

-Wind/Water/Earth/Fire Shock-
After some Spellweaving, we created a stronger version of the elemental magicks. While powerful, they also do not need to be flinged at the opponent, they immediatly strike the foe from within their own bodies.
-Telekinesis-
Unlike the Telekinetic Grab you make do with, this one actually allows you to hoist a being in the air. Like a stringless puppet, they can do little to prevent their own demise. However, the spell requires high concentration, any attack can disrupt the spell. It should also be noted that it's hard to hold more than one opponent at once, even the most wizened of Dark Borns have difficulty to hold more than 2 objects at a time.
-Lightning-
This magic is perhaps the most deadliest of the basic Spellbook. Converting arcane energy into pure lightning and sending it upon your enemies, it will relentlessly chase the targeted creature and shred them to pieces with the massive, unbound energy.

--<<Shadow Magic>>--
The gift of the depths to us... This unique Magi utilizes the powerful Void Rune. As i may have mentioned, any sunlight will immediatly cancel or prevent its use.
-Shadow Surge-
This spell employs the Shadow energy in its most rawest form. Flinging bolts of unstable darkness, this spell can both decimate enemies and heal a fellow Dark Born.
-Shadowmend-
Unlike Shadow Surge, this spell can heal any living being by converting Shadow Energy into Life Force, once it enters the wounded beings corpse, the energy quickly mends bones, organs & closes wounds.
-Anti-Magic Zone-
By sacrificing a large amount of arcane energy, a Dark Born can create a shell of negation, absorbing & preventing any hostile spell from being cast upon you. When its duration expires, it will instantly return to its caster & rejuvenate him/her with the magic it absorbed. However, the spell can not differ from friend and foe, and anyone caught in its area will be rendered powerless.
-Black Hole-
By distorting space & time, a skilled Dark Born can create small void zones on the ground, the closer a creature is to it, the quicker their life force will be drained until they shrivel up and die. The Hole devours both friend & foe, so it is not a spell you should use without care.
-Dark Resurrection-
This is perhaps the most taxing of spells a Dark Born utilizes, by placing the soul of a person back into their corpse and then healing it with a mass amount of shadow energy, they can actually restore a person from Death. But it takes anything from 1 to 5 hours to complete the spell depending upom how powerful the being was. It will also place the caster in a Hibernation state when finished.
-Shadowbind-
This spell stops the enemy in their track by forcing their shadows to stay put on the ground, making their high speed & agility useless for the duration.
-Dark Gate-
A simple teleportation spell that involves jumping from shadow to shadow to reach your chosen destination.

These texts are most intriguing Raziel, I have long been a scholar of the lesser known races and no doubt you have remained well hidden from humankind for countless decades.
While not fully human myself, my past is not known to me, but the very essence of fire and ash is my life and my physical form. If you should ever consider returning to your subterranean home I ask that you let a humble scholar marvel at all you have created.
Rest assured this is merely a personal ambition to better acquaint myself with Gielinor and it's inhabitants and all research is to never be told outside your walls.

P.S. If I may be so bold I feel I must ask what your purpose is on the surface world. Is there a rite of passage in your race where being adorned a Master of Slaying imbues you with knowledge, arcane wisdom or renown? Or are you simply here to observe and interact?

I... do not know, being exiled erases all your knowledge of the Moles, but i remember everything. But still i can't use our Magic, or find the entrances. I have walked the earth in search of answers for years.
