Broken Legacy - The Cursed Blades Swordsman

Exposition

In the beginning of time, magic has raised some eyebrows and provided questionable statements due to its origins. How was man able to manipulate fire, to control the seas, to utilize the air or bend the very fabric of what was perceived as reality?

Many humans have viewed magic with dread while some have begun to understand the fundamental elements and where it originated from.

It is said that earlier practitioners of what was known as black magic had commune with demons to obtain their knowledge about the elements and gain power.

These demons taught them how to harness the power of all the magical elements however it came with a terrible price.

That price was the loss of one's soul to the demon they had made the pact with, upon their death. What they did not know is that the ability to use magic passed down per generation damning their children as well to the demon that the pact was made with.

Evidence had pointed towards demons being the first manipulator of magic and masters of these destructive forces or so mortals were led to believe.

Elder demons were taught magic by powerful beings across the cosmos which commanded each magical element. (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Light, Shadow, Life, Death, Space & Time)

These powerful beings exists even to this day in the places called out worlds.
