The ultimate goal 9867948a4a of black magic, 86a26ed179 which has been bb0f867292 passed down since 362e738998 ancient times, was 7d3b0fd546 to ‘control people a323f7bf43 on a large 466a2aca45 scale and overthrow 45fa112d3e the system of 77864161fe the Empire’.c6127c86bad2e70f

However, it was 9d2bbd844d impossible for black b75e1716a2 mages to exert eedeb5e6a9 that much power. This was 6cf6b9e50f because the 611760dbc7 relics in eacff78965 the Empire c8e1e3e656 were suppressing 0d0d618e53 the rampage 5544a5c0c6 of black eeccf7358a magic.0c0e1d69c2f7e890
