[edit] Enemies
- Grimlocks: Grimlocks are white demons with whirling red eyes. Underground demons who roam from city to city killing powerful forces of Good by seeing the unique auras that surround them, which they are able to do by stealing the sight of innocent children. The stolen eyesight will last twenty-four hours, but only if the children are alive. After the children's use has waned, the Grimlocks consume them. Their eyes only turn whirling red eyes when the demons are taking the eyesight of the child. They can make black portals appear anywhere. When the child's eyesight is taken away, their eyes turn white. Their power is in their hands. To return the eyesight of the children still alive, you must kill the demon who took their eyesight.
[edit] Spells
- To Vanquish a Grimlock: Gather a schisandra root and boil it in water with thyme, with which to blind the Grimlocks, thus killing them.
