They were caused by an ancient European torture instrument known as the Bone Nail, which appeared during the Middle Ages and was a favorite during religious inquisitions. And these serrated wounds? They latch onto flesh like a shark's teeth, and with blood grooves, they let you feel your blood draining away bit by bit, leaving you weaker.
