Ok, so here's the basics. Remember me talking about how Jaeger's soul was bound to his body, even though he's supposed to be dead, and that both turns him into a magical being and also gives him major mental problems? Well, it also did something else. He's such an anathema to nature that he corrupts astral space (and by extension, mana) around himself, in a spherical space around himself of about six meters in radius, and if he remains in one place it starts to expand. Now, normally this means that magic is substantially less effective around him. But not all magic.

There is a certain type of magician called a Toxic Magician. They control the sort of magic that has been tainted by the urban blight and pollution that mankind has unleashed on the world. They're all totally crazy, and really really dangerous. And Jaeger's inherent taint actually makes Toxic Magic more powerful.

One day he was contacted by a very strange individual, the head of a small ritualistic tribe of Toxic Magicians. He believed Jaeger to be a sort of avatar of toxicity, and due to their similar natures of insanity and taintedness and the desire to destroy, Jaeger ended up joining their ranks in a highly exated position. They decked out his armour and weapons to give him a really freaky plague look. And they trained him to use his tainting powers, including by corrupting other spirits into toxic spirits and accelerating the corruption of his already potent astral corruption. With me so far?
