As is established in Druidism, the majority of healing done on Atharen requires a transference of life from one entity to another. While Druidism largely relies on siphoning the life of plants, Grave utilizes a taboo source of energy: mortal souls. Early on in the magic, the Engraver learns to harness souls from the recently dead, siphoning them into their lantern: the Nightorch. This lantern, one with a regulating lid that allows for the transference of souls and energy in-and-out, is the Engraver's most fundamental tool.
