 ====== Demonic Bloodline ======
-Your lineage is one of temptation and whispered bargains, the result of a union between mortal and succubus or incubus. Whether the tryst was a willing indulgence, a cursed seduction, or a pact sealed in blood, the consequence is undeniable—you carry the essence of the infernal within you. This heritage grants you an instinctive command of Divine Magic, but unlike priests who channel the will of the gods, your power is drawn from the raw, seductive force of your demonic ancestry. Your presence carries an unnatural allure, your words cut deeper than most, and when you call upon your magic, it manifests in ways both enticing and terrifying.
+Your lineage is one of temptation and whispered bargains, the result of a union between mortal and succubus or incubus.

Your presence carries an unnatural allure, your words cut deeper than most, and when you call upon your magic, it manifests in ways both enticing and terrifying.
 But such power is not without peril. The influence of your infernal forebears is ever-present, lurking in your instincts and desires. Ambition, pleasure, control, and excess—these are the hallmarks of your bloodline, whispering to you like an unseen shadow. Many of your kind struggle to resist the temptations that come so easily, while others embrace their nature, reveling in the strength and authority it provides. To be of demonic descent is to stand at a crossroads between dominance and downfall, forever balancing on the edge of power and corruption.
