The Swarm

The Swarm is a terrifying phenomenon, a vast and relentless collective of insects driven by an insatiable hunger for magic and mages alike. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, but its presence sends shivers down the spines of all who have encountered it. At its core lies a malevolent queen, a creature of darkness and malice that seeks out the most potent magic user it can find and nests within their body, gaining control over their powers and bending them to its will. The Swarm itself consists of countless insects, each imbued with the ability to devour magic, and it moves as one, a relentless force that leaves no magical residue in its wake.   The Swarm is drawn to sources of magic like a moth to a flame, and its approach is often heralded by the eerie silence of extinguished spells. Magic users live in fear of the day The Swarm descends upon their lands, for once it arrives, there is no escape. The insects of The Swarm swarm over their victims, stripping them of their magical essence and leaving behind empty, lifeless husks. It is a force that defies conventional magical defenses, and those who have witnessed its devastation speak of it in hushed, fearful tones. The Swarm is a reminder that even the most powerful magic can be consumed and corrupted, and its presence serves as a chilling cautionary tale for mages everywhere.
