Edrik continued calmly, "That kind of ability can only be used when there aren't many allies nearby. The curse spreads indiscriminately, corrupting any living being caught within its range. Even those with high resistance can suffer backlash if they're too close. That's why Morganna works alone when she uses it."
He continued. "it's a wide-area spell fueled by her blood aura, and it doesn't distinguish between friend or foe. As for why she only does it at night, it's because her power draws strength from lunar energy and the shadows themselves. In daylight, her control over the blood essence weakens, making the ability unstable and far more dangerous even to her."
Ember let out a quiet sigh afterward. "I'm sure she could've killed them in another way," she said softly. "But she chose this one."
