Description
The Muffling Death Knights reserve a special rank among the Muffling knight squads for harnessing the power of the soul element, one of the 3 elements of magic that Agarthians can learn to use if they were born with the rather rare affinity for it. Many races on the continent of Agartha have outlawed the use of magic entirely or at the very least restricted its usage. Although magic usage itself is mostly banned, the imbuement of magical substances called descent matter is widespread to bestow upon many objects magical properties.
The Death Knights use armor and weapons imbued with blue descent matter, which is known to imbue properties that directly bypass physical matter and affect the souls of those materials it touches. This is also why soul magic is known across the land under a different name: Witchcraft. The Mufflings have managed to imbue blue descent matter into the blades of weapons, allowing Death Knights to take out enemies with a single strike by cutting straight through the soul of an object regardless of how hard the surface of the target may be. However, blue descent matter much like other descent matter is highly unstable and can lead to unwanted side-effects depending on the material it is imbued into. The armor of the death knights is imbued with soul magic as well, not to harden the armor, but to create a stable magnetic field around the death knight for the imbued weapon to become usable without imploding on impact. The blue descent matter of the death knights is typically hidden away at spots on the body that are easy to defend and where they don't touch the wielder's skin, as they are a fatal weak spot and can easily cause unwanted effects to those they touch.
