Search: relating to the sorcerer
Internet: There were many sorcerers that existed during the Egyptian era, but the most infamous of them was Kan-Ra. Once the head adviser to the pharaoh, Kan-Ra was obsessed with the dark arts. Over his years of study in this position, he became fascinated with the pharaoh’s enigmatic royal guard – a living bronze statue – and the magic that keeps it alive. From all of Kan-Ra’s cautious attempts to observe and study the creature, he deduces that its power source could theoretically keep it alive forever. The thought of being able to study and learn until the end of time enthralls Kan-Ra and feeds his obsession for knowledge.
Scholarly research in the royal libraries into past wonders and lost arts of magic fuels his ambition; Kan-Ra feels that as the smartest person in Egypt only he is qualified to rule. He seduces the pharaoh’s wife using a charm spell and begins setting in motion a plan to take the throne by using the Queen as his assassin.
Lacking the power to control the spell effectively, it wears off prematurely. The Queen, thinking herself simply coming to her senses after being seduced by Kan-Ra, is overwhelmed by guilt, killing herself and leaving a note detailing her and Kan-Ra’s betrayal.
Enraged, the pharaoh had Kan-Ra hunted down and captured by his royal guard, who brong a bloodied a broken Kan-Ra before the throne. The pharaoh summons his most powerful sorcerers and curses Kan-Ra with a withering rot- a painful dark magic curse that disintegrates flesh and organs slowly… painfully. Writhing in agony, rotting a bit more every day, Kan-Ra is exiled, he and his ambition doomed to wither away into nothingness. This is all legend, though.
