Followers of the evil gods, unlike their counterparts who follow the good gods, are not taught to use magic to heal, but instead are taught to use their magic to 'unheal', or harm. In order to cast this type of magic, one must have no regard for life, except his own of course. Death and destruction are left in the wake of those who practice this dark magic. This type of magic has such little regard for its target, no reliable protection from its effects are known.
