574 Burial of Blossoms (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 574 Burial of Blossoms. It is necessary to have Photoshop or a compatible app to use it. Inside you will find that it is all white.

Most of the illustration elements are properly named and arranged in folders in the layer area. Some assets like textures or smart objects have ...

The souls would remain usable indefinitely for as long as the canals' pumps would work. This process allowed him to pour hundreds of souls of innocent townsfolk into the waterways of his laboratory. The amount of contained life energy there was nothing to joke at. Alas, the doomed necromancer fell into the pools one day, by accident, and ended his own life.
