• Nether-Related Commands/Spells

Capabilities

The user is able to perform a form of magic that allows them to utilize nether, the infernal element, either magically manipulating it or using it to cast spells. They can command the primal forces of shadow, void, and entropy, granting them dominion over the unseen and the inevitable decay of all things. They could summon and manipulate tangible darkness, weaving it into weapons, barriers, or sentient constructs.

Through void manipulation, they could erase objects or beings from existence, phase through physical barriers, or open rifts to other dimensions. Their presence might disrupt the natural order, causing machinery to malfunction, magic to unravel, or life to wither in their vicinity. With entropy at their fingertips, they could rapidly age or decay organic and inorganic matter alike, while their connection to the Nether Realm might allow them to summon spectral entities, tether souls, or impose their will on the dreams and fears of others. This immense power is balanced by its volatility, with the potential to spiral out of control or leave the user vulnerable to forces of light or order.
