Shadye

Shadye is a necromancer and is the principle antagonist of Schooled in Magic.

His fortress resides in the Blighted Land of the Dead, to the southern face of the Craggy Mountains.

Appearance and Character
Shadye is described as having skin pulled tightly against his skull that you could see the bones underneath, with his nose cut away and replaced by a melted mass of burned flesh. His eyes look like burning coals of red light which shine in the dark. His hand has cuts that criss-cross across his flesh. He carries a long black staff and rides a giant snake into battle.

Necromancy has an effect on the practitioner's brain, wearing down his sanity. It likewise has an effect on their flesh and muscle, as the magic begins to replace their body. When Emily first meets Shadye, he is already in decrepit condition and is mentally insane.
