William Martin, comatose.
"No food, no change…it's like Commander Cedric said."
According to the Templar healer, William's magical energy had increased to an extreme degree, altering his very soul. His body couldn't handle the change and consequently shut down. Due to the nature of the magical flux, the seventeen year old was in a magical stasis, neither dead nor alive.
Kazi didn't need to feed him. William was pale but he wasn't getting paler. Kazi quietly noted the similarity with Paul's death; how his body was in a magical stasis of some kind that prevented blood from seeping and his physical state from changing.
'I did a bunch of medical research. I used different types of Divine Miracle Water. I learned healing skills that remove curses. But none of it worked. To alter the soul and to fix requires the hand of the divine. I don't have that hand yet.'
