Magical Blights

What players would know #

“Magical blight” is a polite phrase for land that has stopped behaving like land.

Common rumors #

• It starts like bad harvests and sick wells, then sharpens into patterns that feel like intent.
• You can’t heal a blight by throwing more magic at it; that only teaches it new shapes.
• Animals avoid certain paths and waters long before people admit something is wrong.
