The Decaying Aspect is the goetic mastery of the inevitable slide into ruin, a discipline that harnesses the cold, stagnant pressures of the deeper Dreamspace to accelerate the terminal decay of all things. Unlike the structured, aesthetic decline found in the Carcosic Aspect, this aspect is a raw, transactional use of the void’s most corrosive currents for the caster’s immediate and personal objectives. It focuses on the biological and structural fatigue that turns a vibrant organism into a pile of grey slurry or a reinforced steel bunker into a crumbling mound of rust within seconds. A practitioner must possess a harrowing level of willpower to act as a vessel for this influence, as the flows of entropy do not distinguish between the target and the caster, often leaving the sorcerer’s own body marked by the very same necrosis and lethargy they seek to project upon the world.
A Decay sorcerer's influence is accompanied by a profound, crushing sense of apathy that can sap the morale of even the most zealous soldier, as the very air seems to grow heavy with the scent of wet earth, rotten flesh and ancient dust. A practitioner of this art understands that while other forces may seek to build or change, the true and final state of the universe is the silent, cold equilibrium of the grave.
