Shadow Mage

Long ago, the warlocks and witches of Storm Keep claimed that the Gray Robes' Magic did not stem from Drakkara, but from Necrucifer himself. Drakkara punished the Gray Robes, and made it known that She was the source of the magical power of all Evil, including that of Storm Keep.

In the mists of time when Necrucifer fought with Austinian, the blood of Necrucifer tainted the rivers and oceans and its very essence permeated everywhere in the land. In an effort to find his way back to Algoron, Necrucifer found a way awaken the presence of His fallen blood on Algoron by using it to harness the wild magic of warlocks and make it His own.

And yet, the key to opening the secrets of the Umbra was derived from Drakkara herself and the Black Moon. The Umbrastone would indeed prove to unlock a primordial source of darkness, but in so doing, positioned Drakkara to destroy Necrucifer for his hubris and consume all he ever was.

The Gray Robes of Storm Keep have retained the ability to steal the magic of other professions through the wild magic of brewing, making them natural enemies of the Conclave as a renegade school of magic.
