Crone

Crones wield the power of Demons by absorbing their attributes.

Crones imbue themselves with the powers of demons. Once they have absorbed a demon's traits, they can transform into a demon of their own design.

History
Crone joined the power pact approximately 900 years ago. Its users were considered mysterious, but this is mostly because they die so much. It is extremely rare to see a Crone who isn't only a few years in practice, but its prominent users always seem to gain reputations quickly with big personalities and leadership qualities. Crones, like other members of their Coven, were not seen in high-ranking oppositions until the appearance of Grem and Godhand Tyrael, and recently, the chief herself. In the past, Crones were not seen in any significant leadership positions.

Relations with this particular animastic are difficult because of their use of demonic abilities. But Crones are resilient and normally highly social, so it is much easier for them to branch into other flock groups or lead their own. Crones are only allowed to be seen in demonic transformations when they are training because their presence can shed a particular type of arcana which can affect weaknesses in nearby entities. It isn't lethal to most, but can slow some recovery and attract unwanted attention from wild arcanic creatures and even those who share your coven curse, so so it is polite to stand about five feet away.

Earning Your Power
Crones are taught by other Crones or Demons, although the latter method is highly dangerous because demons don't care about your mortality. Enticing a demon to share their presence with you is very similar to the Evoker's method of enslaving their first demon. Demons can have their own masters, though unmastered demons can be found in the Blood Coven's Heriak Pit.

Creation, Roleplay, and References
Crones have a demonic form that is different from their natural form. In order to use your Crone's demon form, you will need to submit a reference of what it looks like using this guide. {| class="article-table" !
