"In my world, the corrupting element is the magic decaying into void," he says slowly. "Perhaps cleanse isn't the right word. Reshape is more apt. Take that self-perpetuating entropy and divide it back into the six domains of magic, circulating it back into the world."
For a while he falls quiet again, watching a few specks on the desolate horizon moving closer to the estate. When they resolve themselves into the shapes of a trade caravan, Vlast relaxes.
"Perhaps that was the original purpose of the Elder Dragons. But they grew too greedy; hoarded that magic within themselves and with it took in the void as well. And so it ate away at their power and reason. With proper direction, a sufficiently powerful source of raw magic could cleanse swathes of land of that corruption. The rituals of the Forgotten, and of the centaur Ventari were able to break the thread that bound powerful minions to the dragon's hivemind."
A deep breath, and a long exhale.
"That is probably only helpful if the similarities between the Blight and dragon corruption are more than surface-level, though."
