Wrong journal, but it actually kinda does. Mom’s family in Lochshire was wealthy and powerful—they disowned her for marrying below her station in their estimation, and there were always rumors they dabbled in questionable stuff. Messing with the wrong dark elves, possible dealings with the infernal, or just plain backlash from the wrong sort of Baneful magic workings. Nothing is certain, but if you had to break it down? Definitely picked up Radiant magic from the Cole side of things and Eldritch from mom Katherine Riordan’s upbringing. >.> XD
