• Murder Is the Best Solution

"Look, we don't have a way to cure their insanity, so why don't we just kill them and then I can cast Reincarnate?"

Season One Antagonists

Elder Elemental Eye, aka Tharizdûn

Sometimes, a person is touched partially by a sphere, which gives the victim just enough time to scream in fear before they cease to be. Since this is within his portfolio, Tharizdûn hears it, then he uses his telepathy to project the screams of terror into the minds of the protagonists'. At one point, Yaseilex cast "Silence" to drown the voices, then finds that it does nothing to prevent him from hearing their helpless cries of agony.
