A shiver of ethereal energy rippled through the corridor as a ghostly figure emerged. Its hollow eyes bore a pleading expression, its translucent form trembling. “Please..." it rasped. “Return my daughter’s locket... I beg you... Help me find peace.”
Saren stopped, his gaze narrow and unyielding. “Peace?” His voice was a chilling contrast to the spirit’s desperation. “I offer none.”
Raising a gloved hand, a tendril of Bane Magic wove through the ghost’s incorporeal essence. The magic seeping into what was left of the specter’s mind. Tampering with the memories and emotions that bound it to the mortal plane. The ghost’s expression contorted as flashes of its life and regrets overwhelmed it. The phantom clutching what would be its head, shrieking in an anguish that reverberated through the chamber. “Your attachment is your weakness. Let me show you the weight of it.”
