FIRST BRAIN (DEVIL'S HEAD)
A sorcerer's devil tumor is a blessing directly from Hell. The tumor is a source
of life, magic, and something even more valuable - the biological components
necessary for a sorcerer to become a Devil.
The devil tumor resides within a sorcerer's gray matter, and is one of several
key biological differences between sorcerers and humans. Whereas a human's death
is final once they have taken their last breath, a sorcerer's mortality is not
so black and white. As long as the devil tumor remains whole, a deceased
sorcerer's body may be brought back to life any number of times. Consequently,
the destruction of a devil tumor results in the permanent death of a sorcerer,
no matter the attempts to resurrect their body. A simplistic view of this
phenomenon might move to describe the devil tumor as a sorcerer's 'soul';
however, it would be more accurate to describe a sorcerer's body as a simple
vessel through which a devil tumor may grow to maturity.
Alongside the circulatory system, a sorcerer's body is also home to a series of
vein-like structures that allow the transfer of smoke throughout the body,
dubbed the ventilation system. Smoke production begins in the brain. The devil
tumor naturally produces smoke particles, which then travel to the other parts
of the body via the Circle of Surgat, a structure analogous to the Circle of
Willis in the circulatory system.
The structure of the ventilation system varies wildly between sorcerers, which
can account for many discrepancies in the strength of an individual's magic.
Smoke veins are concentrated within the top half of the sorcerer's body. In most
cases, the veins take one of two formations: the lung-center formation, or the
wrist-center formation. These formations are named for the part of the body
where the smoke veins are strongest and most abundant.
For sorcerers born with the lung-center formation, smoke is exhaled from the
lungs through the mouth during use. These sorcerers tend to have stronger magic
and a higher volume of smoke production, as well as coarser and more potent
smoke particles. Sorcerers born with the wrist-center formation cast magic
through their fingertips. These sorcerers are often weaker, due in part to the
finer smoke particles they produce and the slower release of smoke.
Wrist-formation sorcerers often make use of bladed wristbands or rings in order
to cut their skin to release their smoke, whereas lung-formation sorcerers have
no need for these apparatuses.
