I think I wll go with some derivation from "tomb". 00:01 Jul 9, 2012
I notice that most responders gravitate in that direction too. It also fits the context well (sending your allies to their graves with a bolt of ligtning).
@Wolf, about too archaic or obscure: Normally I would agree with your observation but this is a fantasy genre complete with witches and knaves so something a little bit archaic just might be "what the doctor ordered".
I'll have to think some more about exact wording but, for the moment, I'm favoring "call of the grave" perhaps or "from beyond the grave".
Anyway, thank you all for your help, sure helped with direction to think in. |
