Quick Answers

What is the role of witches in the creation of an abomination? toggle section
Witches create abominations through clay-like reanimated matter that involves ingredients and body parts for their creation. Some, like Amity, carry abomination clay for this purpose. Witches can even morph into an abomination. A witch can also simply summon an Abomination through a spell circle as a type of specialized magic. The Abomination Coven specializes in this conjuring, while younger witches who are in the Abomination track initially creating their own abomination as a class task. Witches can also combine abomination material with other elements like soil and plants through Plant magic to create hybridized abominations.

What is the typical appearance and behavior of an abomination? toggle section
As Abominations are created by witches to do tasks for them, they take the form of amorphous purple blobs that adopt a crude humanoid shape. They are not living entities and do what the witch who created tells them to. Although mindless, the true sentience of an Abomination is hinted upon, with some demonstrating emotions, such as showing reactions of happiness or sadness. One Abomination has even displayed enough sentience to become an author of a popular book.

What is the substance that abominations are typically made from? toggle section
The substance an Abomination is made from is a purple, ooze-like substance that is normally created by witches. The materials required to create this substance is not stated, although its properties mimic clay, able to be molded into any shape the witch wants. Furthermore, a witch who masters Abomination magic must be able to make the matter themselves and mold it into a stable Abomination to be considered viable for Abomination magic. Normally, this substance is used to conjure the Abomination, however, a witch with enough skill can use them to generate more versatile constructs and weaponize abomination matter in combat.

Appearance[]

Abominations have a crude humanoid appearance and behavior. Their bodies have such a very poor structure that makes maintaining a consistent form a struggle. Most abominations fall apart easily, but witches with stronger magic can keep the abomination stabilized and make it larger and more durable in combat. Abominations that exhibit an overly disproportionate appearance or have multiple limbs or appendages where there shouldn't be are deemed as failures.

Background[]

Created by animating/reanimated matter, abominations serve as labor on the Boiling Isles. Their low sentience ensures abominations will recognize and obey the commands of their summoner without developing any rebellious tendencies. Though abominations fall apart easily, they can easily reform themselves, allowing them to perform dangerous tasks with minimal risk. However, Incident #3421 of Eda's Hexside write-ups indicates that abominations can gain full sapience and revolt against their creators. Multiple abominations can also combine into a single form to increase their size and power.

The Abomination Coven specializes in abomination conjuring. The abomination track is highly regarded at Hexside and across the isles, and affords those on it greater opportunities for success upon graduation. Witches in this track start out by making their own abomination as a class assignment before moving into more complex usages. In combat, abominations are often commanded to fight in their summoner's stead. Highly skilled abomination witches can effectively weaponize abomination matter to enhance their combat skills and are able to create constructs, weapons, and shields to aid them in combat. The Abomination Coven Head, Darius Deamonne, can turn himself into an abomination at will and can use abomination matter to teleport himself and/or others.

One notable witch, Alador Blight, has managed to integrate abominations into his products at Blight Industries such as Abomination-based crossbows and guns. He was capable of even engineering the Abomaton and the Abomatron, a robotically-enhanced abomination with amazing destruction power.
