Bab 42: Eidolon Spawn

"What was that thing, my lady?" Cassian asked, his voice a mix of confusion and awe as Katherine tended to his wounds. A warm, gentle flame enveloped his body, radiating a transparent orange hue that illuminated the dark, cold mountain air around them. The pain slowly ebbed away, replaced by a deep sense of relief.

They had teleported to the mountains behind the castle, miles away. Cassian hadn't realized Katherine was capable of such powerful magic, but after seeing her disintegrate the creature with a single spell, he now understood her abilities went far beyond what he had imagined.

"That creature is called an Eidolon Spawn," Katherine replied, her voice carrying a note of contempt. Her expression darkened as she continued, "They're artificially created and embedded into living bodies. You could think of them as a kind of... living spell. But it's taboo to use one. Few know how to create them."
