Some world-building concept art I made for my Continent Saga.
Esotheric Engravings are scars in the flesh, giving access to spells and rituals that the esotherist cannot use any other way. The White Tower's curse-hunters engrave themselves with various last-resort spells that they use in a life or death situations. Once used, engravings combust and burn out, leaving marks and scars on the body that will never complitely heal.
