Artificial Demon Cores were an idea, a starting point, but they were still far from what I was looking for.
For one thing, Demon Cores came with far too many side effects. The darkness contained within them was merely the most obvious problem. I had no intention of replacing one health problem with another and leaving my citizens plagued with 'Corey Disease.'
Fortunately, unlike the Dark Race slave traders, I had the means to refine the Demon Cores properly.
I could strip away the darkness contaminating them, refine their energy, and tailor the resulting core to the specific Card Apprentice receiving it. I could even turn the refined core into a Card.
But there was a catch.
