Deathwight Purification

Obsessed with preservation and the abatement of decay, Alistair's Hone Spark commands him to keep his Necromancy thralls in a rigorously preserved state. Alistair must keep all of his thralls orderly and pristine, appearing as if animated from a fresh corpse, or his Hone spark will reject them, causing for the usage of any rune to terrify his thralls and send them into a mindless frenzy. If they are kept well-maintained, however, the spark recognizes the thralls as orderly (perhaps even living) entities and allows for Runes to be placed upon any undead who meet this criteria. However, due to the nature of Lucis Runes and their reliance on bonding with living tissue, Alistair's thralls anointed with his Runes will find that over time the Runes themselves will destroy the bodies of the undead much faster that they might normally decay.

This effect cannot be negated as the energy of the Lucis Runes is essentially "burning away" at the thralls due to it's inability to handle the power of the Rune. Anywhere a Rune is placed, the tissue or material around it will begin to glow white hot and begin to corrode. Within the span of one trial the thrall will be completely consumed with this corruption and will be reduced to dust. The damage of the Lucis corrosion cannot be undone even if the duration of the Rune lasts for less than a trial. However, welled thralls can be considered an exception to this, as determined by the power of the well. Ezymite wells will somewhat reduce the Runic corrosion of thralls; Imedyte will dramatically reduce corrosion, and Emetyte and comparable wells (or higher) in thralls can regenerate corrosion like any other wound, considering the strength of these wells.
