The practitioners of an underground mystical tradition, claiming an unbroken line of mentorship back to the rogue wizard Malachi Draas. This is dubious. What is certain is the Malachite's proficiency with gory, flashy and awesome magic. Subtlety is for wizards unsure of their own power. Why hide your power when everyone should be bowing to you?
Perk: The forces of hell know your kind. You can call up and converse with demons with a ten minute ritual.
Drawback: You are feared and distrusted by most. All your spells are bright, loud, and next to impossible to hide.
Cantrips
1. Ward off mild heat or cold. Too weak to defend from stroke or hypothermia, but good for comfort.
2. Dim sound. The sounds are still made, but to you they seem muffled.
3. When entering a room, you can choose to cause a display of multicolored lights and music to appear.
Mishaps
1. MD only return to your pool on a 1-2 for 24 hours.
2. Take 1d6 damage.
3. Random mutation for 1d6 rounds, then Save. Permanent if you fail.
4. Agony for 1d6 rounds.
5. Possessed for 1d6 rounds.
6. Vomit up 1d6 imps in as many rounds. They will cause havoc in the area while loudly praising your name.
Doom of the Malachite
1. A crack in the ground forms under your feet and you fall in, dragged by hellish hands. You return a day later, shaved from head to toe with your skin covered in infernal tattoos.
2. You lose control of your summoning ritual. Demons can find and appear to you at will. You can't hide.
3. Your spirit warps and you are overtaken by a desire to conquer and destroy. You become a dangerous NPC in the service of hell, and will journey to the nearest hellmouth to open it and lead a demonic army.
The last doom can be averted by finding the hellmouth and sealing it shut forever.
