Bankston raises the ornate scales high, uttering a commanding language reminiscent of a judge laying out a judgment. With a deft motion, he positions nettle and Mugwort leaves on opposite sides of the scales, Flames igniting on there own. The flames dance with hues of dark red and bright purple, casting flickering shadows. As Bankston gazes into the flames, visions of past crimes materialize before him. the flames surge forth, Painfully searing into his eyes and imprinting an awareness of his prey and their victims.

By intentionally criminal beings i mean to target beings that have an activate understanding and engagement with society and laws, they just chose to break those laws anyways.

Victims of crimes i mean individuals who are actively having a crime committed against them. some one being attacked in the streets, or kidnapped, or just got robbed an hour ago. People are not Victims forever.

The Wild Hunt recognizes its own kind. Many of the hunt are linked to the Fae and many are such beings themselves, and the spear…adapts to the obsession of its wielder. Colvin’s obsession is his hatred of the Fae. He will stalk to the ends of the world to end them, if need be. The spear is more than happy to feed his hunger, while turning him into a piecemeal facsimile of the beings he hates most.
