- Name: Ancient Craving
- Type: Earth Dragon Slayer Magic
- Effect Type: Healing
- Effect: The caster must expose the area above their heart to make an incision. Such is accomplished through the focus of magic force through their fingertip. With the blood let from the wound, the caster marks the targets brow with the runic symbol for earth.
When scribed correctly, the sigil will glow a vibrant emerald before fading to a burnished gold and permanently marking the skin. Such a reaction marks the forge of a connection between the life energies of caster and target. The caster then touches his/her lips to the sigil, and may then breathe in any sickness or ailment that the target is afflicted with.
These impurities leave the targets body in the form of glittering copper fragments, smaller than glitter and relative to the physical appearance of dust. The sickness remains housed within the body of the dragon slayer, but is contained so's not to run rampant in their system and cause harm. The dominion over the cycle of all life and death wielded by the earth allows it to be so.
- Secondary Effect: The connection between caster and target never fades. Sense-sharing - sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and glimpses of experiences/memories is an expected experience, and cannot be turned off.
- Range: Direct contact must be made between target and caster.
- Backlash: For storyline interest, each use of this technique shortens the lifespan of the user by one full year.
