The skull of the Narghul Sorcerer came away from the body with strips of neck flesh still attached, the spinal column protruding from the base of the skull in a wet, ragged column of demon-bone and connective tissue, the throat structure dangling from the underside of the jaw in flapping pieces.
The Narghul Sorcerer's body fell to its knees, and the shadow construct dissipated, leaving behind a cube-shaped core.
The body was in a kneeling position for two seconds before the torso fell forward with the arms still extended in the configuration of the terminal cast that would never be completed.
There was a sound as if gas was escaping a container as the hide of the demon began to smoke, as a result of the demon's life-substance escaping through the catastrophic vascular rupture at the neck.
