Magic

Name: Koh the Facestealer

Element: Arcane

Category: Single

Quantity: Limited

Description: A menacing presence who was once a friendly spirit that roamed the ethereal world whose immortality led to its downfall slowly being tainted through bad impulses of humanity. A truly terrifying figure, Koh the face stealer is amongst one of the oldest known spirits that actively hunt for the faces of those whom he desires. Tied to the void after centuries of inhabiting the realm, Koh now requires a pact to be formed between them and a suitable candidate who will continue to entertain them. Capable of copying and even stealing the properties of individuals, he is a greatly feared being and thus coveted by those seeking power.

Drawback: Koh is an incredibly vain individual, craving the next beautiful face to add to their collection as does the users whose values become improving their own, and if that should fail to take on the appearance of that which is considered beautiful in current culture's expectations and killing whomever they are mimicking.
