78 Before There Was Battle (Part 2)

Marionettes are supposed to be puppets that are given the magic of a warlock, a substitute for its soul, and the essence of a certain person, which will serve as a form of its memory and emotion. Puppets are usually created to do a bad deed; voodoo dolls, for instance, are done to inflict harm.

Voodoo dolls are witch curses and are often referred to as the lowest form of Marionettes; they can harm and inflict pain but cannot kill. Voodoo dolls can be ineffective once regular magician doctors reverse the essence of a person (such as changing one's perfume). Marionettes, or the Warlock's puppets, are the dangerous ones. A marionette is created with the essence of multiple people of whom the warlock wishes to follow. Unlike unmoving voodoo dolls, a marionette can walk and take orders, inflict physical harm but cannot inflict death—however can cause it.
