  "Stigma Diabolicum":{"Type":"Light Spell","Lore":"The Workshop is haunted by the irony that their strongest spells align with what the Church vehemently opposes, Researchers and preyers are thus faced with the harsh reality that the end sometimes justifies the means.

  "Blight Cyst":{"Type":"Light Spell","Lore":"Promises of earth element fostering strength and growth were made by the Workshop witches, but they defaulted to their old ways.
