Fable (Remake)

The Fable Remake is an upcoming remake of the original Fable, Fable: The Lost Chapters and Fable Anniversary, the game is a complete remake of those games featuring updated graphics, a retold plot and enhanced gameplay mechanics as well as entirely new elements to increse both the Role-Playing and Action elements of the games. The game was released for the PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Much of the game focuses around the same general outline as the original telling the conflict between the Hero of Oakvale and Jack of Blades.
==Plot==
While the general struture of the plore remains in tact much of it was overhauled to improve briskness and increase character storytelling, adding in greater character depth and reworking some characters to have more significance to the plot. The most striking addition is the numerous additonal plot elements that occur throughout the game providing a bevy of new quests to the game that focus and allow characters to be fleshed out more.
===Prologue: Guild Days===
Unlike the original games the player does not start of as a child in Oakvale, the story of the Oakvale Raid is told from the perspective of two guildsmen who're talking about the player character behind their back, the raid remains relatively the same with mentions of the near total destruction of the town as well as the disappearance of several villagers and how Maze as well as other members of the Guild came to rescue the few survivors which included the player character.
New additions in this backstory include the player being mentioned to have had a direct confrontation with the Bandit King, Twinblade who nearly struck down the child only to be disarmed by Maze at the last second. Another addition is clarification of Jack's presence at the raid, as it is stated he arrived shortly after Maze and the others and helped clear out the remaining bandits and dowse many of the fires that had been started.
The actual prologue itself begins with the player at approximately the age of 12, having arrived at the Guild a few years prior the player along with other young Guildmembers in training practised diligently, the guild quests are broken up into three stages; Basic, Intermediate and Advanced with a few other quests some optional some mandatory as well.

The chapter greatly expands out the lore, giving more characterization to Maze while establishing Whisper's rivalry with the player, the quest also builds up the presence of the Wasps and their threat to the surrounding area, it is also a chapter that shows the apathy of both townsfolk and guildsmen to one another as many of the senior guildsmen regard the quest as something beneath them while the townsfolk believe they don't need the guild.

The player can interfere with Whisper's path by shooting explosives and knocking out bridges to slow her down.

*High and Mighty - The player returns to Bowerstone to inform Ruphiglius about the situation, on returning however they learn that Thunder had heard from Whisper about the Bandits and promptly dealt with them, the quest focuses mainly around developing Whisper's character more showing that she's somewhat reluctant towards using Thunder's name to get into Bowerstone admitting that his ego often carries weight in Albion. Most of the quest involves following a parade for Thunder from Bowerstone to the Heroes Guild, along the way several creatures and bandits attack which the player can help kill for experience.

*The Wasp Den - This quest becomes active as soon as the previous one is completed, Maze informs the player they'll need to take down whatever Wasps dwell within the hive, the player is tasked with exploring the maze-like hive killing all the Wasps within, along the way Thunder turns up offering his assistance although seems to regard it more as a way for him to remain on top. Eventually the player faces and fights the Wasp Queen at the heart of the hive, which had previously nearly killed Thunder, after the battle however Thunder recovers and challenges the player to a battle for his honour, the player fights Thunder although Whisper intervenes and apologizes to the player and allows the player to keep the glory of their battle against the Wasps.

==Gameplay==
Fable Remake has a significant overhaul from the previous games in the series, reworking the combat mechanics to be more fluid and flowing for the player, encouraging rapid weapon switchin and combos between attacks. As with the previous games in the series combat is broken up into three primary components; Might, Skill and Will.
*Might - Attributes associated with Physical and Direct damage, Might dictates the player's ability to deal damage using Melee Weapons as well as deal with oncoming damage both through Health and Defense as well as tactics such as Blocking.
*Skill - Attributes associated with Ranged Damage and Manueverability, Skill oversees the abilities of the player with regards to usage of Ranged Weapons as well as movement speed and dodging, it is directly related to the player's sprint, roll and jump abilities as well.
*Will - Attributes associated with Magic, Will is the general magic orientated elements of the gameplay, this includes all the spells the player can learn as well as Magical Resistances and Immunities.
===Combat===
Combat makes up a large part of Fable Remake much like its predecessors. Combat's three parts as specified above each work around direct and support elements.
====Close-Quarters Combat====
When using Melee Weapons the player is engaged in Close to Medium Range Combat, each weapon comes with a Light and Heavy Attack, performing these in certain chains depending on the weapon type will result in special attacks which deal significantly more damage. In addition after the player performs three consecutive hits they will be able to use their flourish attacks, flourishes are faster and more powerful variants of regular attacks, they're effective in dealing with multiple enemies.
Another important component of this format of Combat is dealing with oncoming attacks, there are three ways to deal with an oncoming attack; Block, Dodge or Parry. Blocking involves using the player's weapon and/or shield to deflect and attack, the effectiveness of this varies according to certain skills of the player, although with high enough skills particularly in Toughness the player can use Blocks to counter weaker enemies leaving them open and vulnerable to a counter-attack. Dodges are more Skill orientated and require the player to dodge out of the way of the oncoming attack, dodging is part of the Skill Component of play and hence upgrading it and other Skill related abilities will allow the player to more effectively dodge, manuevering around enemies to flank them leaving them open to attacks. Lastly Parrying which requires the most precise timing from the player allows the player to directly reflect attacks, it is the most potent form of countering in the game and regardless of how good the player is at Blocking or Dodging, Parrying will always yield the most amount of time to perform counter-attacks, this is because the player needs to precisely determine when to perform a Parry.
====Ranged Combat====
Ranged Combat comes in two variaties, Physical and Magical. Physical Ranged Combat involves using Bows and other Ranged Weapons, as outlined above these fall under Skill meaning upgrading the abilities covered under that component will improve the player's abilities using Ranged Weapons. In general the player can use a lock-on system for targeting enemies or manually control their aiming which can be mobile (in which the player moves with the movement control and aims with the camera) or sentry (in which the player remains stationary and can aim using either controls). Sentry offers slightly more accuracy although both can be used to perform accurate shots. For most Thrown Weapons there is a small charge up time, if the player waits until they're charged then the weapon will deal full damage, attacking before then will yield less damage dealing as low as 1 hitpoint of damage when uncharged.
Magical Ranged Combat involves using Magical Spells to attack with, the player can use a variety of spells in combat some having ranges similar to Melee Weapons while others can be precisely aimed like Ranged Weapons, each spell has its own qualities and can be upgraded through the Will ability set.
===Magic===
The most changed of the systems, Magic was completely overhauled in the Fable Remake, this was done to prevent it from being as overpowered as it becomes in the original games and to also add some additional non-combat elements to it which were lacking from the system originally. Magic is now comprised of Charging which is done by the player drawing Magical Energy from the environment around them, there are two types of Magical Energy; Old Kingdom Energy and Divine Energy. Each spell in the game uses a different amount of each type, in addition depending on the environment the player is in the amount of each energy they can gather will vary, this is generally easiest to tell based on the presence of Old Kingdom remains or structures.
Once the player has charged their magical energy they can then use spells through a standard wheel select of spells, beyond this however the player also has a few options beyond spells; Boosting, Dispersion and Channeling.
Boosting is a positive buff effect that the player can apply to themselves, these are considered separate from spells since the player acquires the boost directly from the environment itself and is chosen instead of Charging, boosts can range from increasing Defense or Damage Output to giving the player Regenerating Health or boosting their Movement Speed.
Dispersion is an Area-of-Effect that can be used by the player and is highly effective against magical enemies, Dispersion will drain all the magical energy from the player, depending on the amount drained the intensity of the dispersion will increase. Dispersion can temporarily stun enemies in the effected area and can block Magic from enemies being usedk, Dispersion leaves behind a glowing aura in the effected area from which magical energy can't be charged by the player until it disperses.
Lastly is Channeling, this is a purely non-combat orientated quality of Magic, it allows the player to direct pure magical energy at something, the magical energy cannot damage enemies however it can be used to activate specific elements of the environment ranging from doors and switches to automatons and decorative features.
==Locations==
All Major Locations of Albion in Fable Remake(Note: Each Location contains several sub-areas)
Albion is comprised of several locations for the player to visit over the course of the game, some locations are entirely optional although most are in some what relevant to the plot, it should be noted the player can freely travel around most of Albion and can visit many locations before they're directly mentioned or need to be visited in the actual plot.
===Settlements===
Location 	Description
Heroes Guild 	
The Guild of Heroes where those young and old gather together, the Guild is the most renowned location in all of Albion, it has produced both some of the most gallant and virteous heroes as well as some of the most despised and foul villains. The Guild acts as a mediator, finding those who possess the potential to become great and offering them a life of hard training and vast knowledge and is also where those who need the particular skill or talent of those trained at the Guild to requests jobs to be done.
The Guild is impartial to those that request its services whether it's a village asking to be saved from bandits or bandits asking to help burn down a village the Guild has those who will offer to take on such requests, as such it has developed a bit of a reputation for having questionable allegiances and many outside of the Guild regard the Guild and its members as dubious and untrustworthy until proven otherwise.
Bowerstone 	
The largest settlement in all of Albion, Bowerstone is one of the few surviving relics of the Old Kingdom, originally founded millenia ago the city has stood the test of time and has often been challenged by dangerous forces whether monsters or powerful individuals. The city is divided up into quarters; North, South, Ports (West) and Keep (East) as well as several smaller external areas which each are for specific functions within the city.
Bowerstone's easily most definable feature is the river delta that passes through it, the Greater Bower River and Lesser Bower River connect at the south end of Bowerstone and the city has three bridges which provide connection across the two bridges, the three bridges are named after great heroes who protected the city when it was in dire need hundreds of years ago. Thanks to being the primary source of trade and also being home to the apparent descendant of the Old Kingdom's rulers, Lady Grey, Bowerstone has flourished with the Northern quarter being regarded as luxurious and beautiful although is only accessible to those who's coin purses are full or reputation matches such wealth.
Millfields 	
A quiet little town located North-West of Bowerstone, the town is known for being a primary producer of grains in the region and sells all the way down to the southern tip of Albion. Those who live in Millfields are simple folk although are often regarded as a bit flighty in the face of fearsome heroes and monsters and as such are known to simply run and hide in their houses if a hero with a foul scowl turns up to their requests for help.
Millfields has several large fields although many are inaccessible to prevent vandalism, it also has a series of water mills which are used to help crush up the grain into flour. There are a small set of woods located on the Eastern side of Millfields which supposedly have a wish-granting fountain hidden within them.
Orchard Farms	
Separated from much of the rest of Albion by Greatwood, Orchard Farms are a community of farmers who specialize in livestock, fruit and vegetables, unlike Millfields their farms are generally much smaller, the largest being the location's namesake, the Orchard Farm. The farmers are quite tough however having to periodically deal with Bandits and Hobbes among other creatures attempting to steal their goods and produce.
The Farms are also often where traders tend to gather as the low costs to stay at the farms and friendly residents often make it a favourable location especially for those that have just passed through Darkwood, although staying for long periods of time has been known to cause the farmers of the community to become agitated sometimes suspicious of a trader's intentions.
Rosegrove 	
The last settlement before Darkwood on the North side, Rosegrove is a popular location due to the specialists who live there, in the ancient past the people of Rosegrove were wandering nomads who travelled from an ancient kingdom to the south of Albion, though they'd left their homes a long time ago they held onto the crafts they'd learned in those mysterious lands, fine tapestries and marvelous perfumes, flowers that were seen nowhere else in Albion and various crafts that had yet to be given a name.
Rosegrove is a difficult place for outsiders to properly explore as the residents of Rosegrove are cautious around outsiders due to an unfortunate past involving their ancestors being barred from entering Bowerstone and labelled as heretics due to them following a faith separate from that of Avo and Skorm. To this day the people of Rosegrove continue to practise their old traditions, mostly isolated from the rest of Albion as both the people of Rosegrove and the people of the rest of Albion prefer to keep at an arm's distance.
Wolfcrest 	
A port town that is used for storing and trading goods, Wolfcrest is in a rather bizarre location as the only way to access it on land is to travel through the dangerous Hobbe Caverns, however by sea it is a safe voyage and provides hospitality and relaxation for those visiting from Bowerstone, Knothole Glade, Hook Coast and beyond. The town is built into the side of a cliff face making it incredibly difficult for anyone to attack including monsters.
An old legend of the town goes that before the town had developed to the state it currently is in a great sea monster known as a Kraken attacked the Port Town, the people cried out to the gods for help and salvation and a heroine believed to be an angel sent by Avo himself descended from the skies above raining devastating lightning upon the foul creature of the deep driving it back into the ocean where it was never seen again, in memory of that great heroine the town of Wolfcrest holds ceremonies in her honour.
Brightwall 	
A small for that developed into a town nestled up in the highlands of East Albion, Brightwall is a strange little town its residents used to the bitterly cold weather they have to endure. Brightwall doesn't trade much with other regions in Albion and despite being the entrance to an alternative way around Darkwood the steep cliffs leading up to it make it impossible for anyone who isn't an acrobat to reach the town from the west.
High walls protect the city from attack whilst within the residents, a mixture of soldiers who protected the main fort long ago although now also help in other ways for the town as well as travellers who settled into the town, live their lives mainly trading in rare goods such as jewels and earthly metals. Brightwall is also a location of education, despite its relatively small size it is one of the only settlements that has a public library and school allowing anyone of any age to learn about the histories of Albion, its people and creatures and the many skills and talents that exist.
Grey Heights 	
A mysterious village nestled amongs the cliffs of the South of Albion, very few people are allowed to ever enter Grey Heights, strict security at the entrance prevents entrance for most people so even the traders who visit have to do their business at the gate of the village rather than within. Grey Heights has a long and troubled past for a village, originally the birth place of the first Mayor of Bowerstone, the lineage has consistently emerged from this village one way or another, some say that the village simply produces people with good leadership qualities while others believe there is something more nefarious under the surface.
Many others believe that Grey Heights is rather corrupt of a village, despite its low population the village is immensely wealthy and some believe it hires bandits to attack other settlements across Albion to loot their goods.
Oakvale 	
Nearly 20 years ago to the events of Fable, Oakvale was burned to the ground by a gang of merciless bandits, the original Oakvale was a quiet and serene little village, lined up against the coast where fishermen would spend their days hauling in nets filled with the fish of the deep blue sea. Although the damage done to Oakvale was severe with some of the ruins of the original Oakvale still present, time has healed this land and the new Oakvale which was built atop the old one is one of the larger settlements in all of Albion.
The new Oakvale is a thriving beachside town that almost rivals Bowerstone in its population, large multi-floor homes provide residence for its population and the large farms attached to the town's East and North sides allow Oakvale to produce food that is exported to other settlements in South Albion and even travels via sea to other regions of Albion. Monuments to the bandit raid can be found including a mighty battleaxe statue that is dedicated to Scarlet Robe a legendary hero who disappeared on that fateful night.
Burrow Mire 	Originally a small mining village nestled in the highlands of South-West Albion, the land was taken over by Bandits shortly after the Oakvale raid, the Bandits now dominate the region and periodically exert their pressure on the people of Oakvale. No one dares trade with Burrow Mire in fear of being cut-off by the other settlements of Albion, in spite of this some Bandit Traders will sell the minerals mined out of Burrow Mire to other settlements in Albion claiming to have obtained their goods from Samarkand. Though one can travel to Burrow Mire and if they meed one of the various qualifications of the Bandits may even be allowed to enter the settlement, leaving is more difficult as the Bandits are constantly fearful of spies infiltrating their base to steal information.
Skormal 	
Skormal is said to be the birthplace of Skorm, the God of Evil, although there are arguments against Skorm's existence many who live in Skormal's faith in their god is so intense it creates illusions that become reality. Skormal is a dark town that is constantly shrouded in a murky haze that is said to be able to turn those with weak-will towards darkness. The town is surprisingly well-built with several buildings providing shelter for its residents and a large marketplace that sells various odds and ends. Some Heroes regard the town as a welcoming location pointing out that Skormal is one of the only places in Albion that produces some of the critical wares for heroes including Chainmail and Plate Armour as well as the Ages Potions.
The most defining landmark of Skormal is the Chapel of Skorm a massive structure with beautiful stained glass windows depicting the supposed origins of Skorm, born from a place known as the Void and cast out due to the purity of his evil. The Chapel accepts many forms of payment from its followers including self-mutilation, sacrifices, gold and sanity. According to the followers of Skorm, payment to the Chapel will give one incredible powers from regenerative abilities, increases in strength, good fortune and even enhanced will powers.
Ravenscar 	
Ravenscar is an unusual location, originally it was the South Albion's equivalent to Bargate Prison although over time those released from Ravenscar Keep (the town's jail) settled nearby creating the town of Ravenscar, although a bit dubious in nature due to the history and lineages of its residents the town is quite prosperous selling lumber, stone and minerals to the rest of Albion, although many other settlements prefer to keep their distance due to its history.
Ravenscar's environment is also quite dreary, there is a frequent amount of rain that falls on the region sometimes resulting in flooding although gives the area a dulled and washed out colour. Interestingly Ravenscar has a large population of Gypsies from the south-lands as well as Samarkanians from Samarkand to the East, as such their culture has had some influence on the design of the buildintgs and the general culture of the people in the town.
More TBA 	
===Locations of Interest===
Across Albion are many locations of interest for the player to visit, many are required to at least be partially passed through to reach the various settlements although the individual sub-areas within each location of interest may be optional to some degree, as with Settlements, Locations of Interest are actually multiple locations connected together, as such some locations from the original Fable were greatly expanded while others were fused together.
====Picnic Woods====
The Picnic Woods are a scenic location found to the West of Bowerstone and Heroes Guild, it is a popular retreat for young couples and explorers alike. Most of the woods leading to the location's namesake the Picnic Retreat has been cleared over the years and is maintained by a special division of Bowerstone's guards. There are however several areas of the main path that aren't often explored and as such can be somewhat dangerous, there are often insects roaming around the woods themselves although sometimes Bandits or creatures more fearsome have been sighted.
====Greatwood====
The largest of all forests in Albion, Greatwood has a rich and storied past as during ancient times the Old Kingdoms of Albion saw this land as being a sacred location, as such many ancient monument were erected within the forest's confines. To this day people still venture out into the deeps of Greatwood in search of the various ruins, unfortunately in recent time Bandits have been known to set up camps in the Forest making it dangerous to travel without protection. Due to its large size there is no one for any guards to simply protect the entire forest as such guards who're hired by travellers head between the settlements separated by Greatwood, despite the cost many traders agree it to be worth the gold as the wares that travel by sea are much more infrequent.
====Fisher's Bay====
Located on the West Coast of Albion, the Fisher's Bay is a popular spot for Fisherman to gather as the waters are perfect for many fish that travel through the rivers of Albion and out into the ocean, the bay is quite large having many small spots for people to fish in peace and serenity. A few houses have been built which accommodate the fishermen and are maintained by the Fishing Association who sometimes run competitions for the fishermen with prizes varying. The bay can be somewhat dangerous however as strange aquatic creatures that dwell deep in the ocean sometimes come up to the surface and attack the fishermen who often have to call on the aid of heroes to protect them.
====Wailing Island====
Located just off the coast of Albion, Wailing Island is a large island that is known for its long storied history of the town of Baymore. Long ago the town was set ablaze by ruthless bandits and an member of the guild who lead the bandits into the town burning it down, in the process declaring himself no longer part of the Guild and becoming a Bandit Warlord, the town's ruins are now haunted by Undead and Spirits, the creepy atmosphere of the island has steadily grown over the years and few dare step foot on the island anymore due to fears of being cursed or worse. According to legends however, during the bandit's attack they left behind a great treasure somewhere on the island to one day return to collect although never have done so.
====Hobbe Caverns====
The Hobbe Caverns are a large interconnected series of underground tunnels that were created over a millennia ago by the Old Kingdom, according to legend, children of the Old Kingdom who committed unspeakable evils were sent into these tunnels and expected to die, strangely however the caverns possessed magical entities, an unearthly magical creature known as a Merallite a creature able to turn the mundane into magic dwelled deep within the caverns, the children sent down became servants of the Merallite and were transformed into Hobbes, thus began the curse of the Hobbes, children would be kidnapped by these strange degenerative creatures and over time would be turned into more Hobbes by the strange magic Hobbes possessed. No one dares enter the Hobbe Caverns without strong protection or quick feet.
====Darkwood====
The nefarious counterpart to Greatwood, Darkwood lies to the south of the gilded, golden trees of Greatwood. Due to a strange put on the land during the times of the Old Kingdom the land fell into ruin and the remains of the Old Kingdom can still be seen, slowly grown over by the native foliage. The creatures of Darkwood are far more vicious and dangerous than that of Greatwood to the point that even most bandits don't dare step foot in this region. Travel through Darkwood is extremely dangerous for travellers although fortunately in the region of Barrow Fields, security from Oakvale offers to escort traders to the North side of Darkwood for a fee. Some say that mysterious entities dwell in Darkwood, cultists and other followers of the dark arts travel to Darkwood in hopes of finding strange organizations and are often never heard from again.
====Darkwood Bordello====
Nestled within the depths of the Darkwood forestlands, this retreat that is strangely soothing is for the corrupt of heart and those who want to get away from the civil life and enjoy more primordial pleasures. Whether lust, greed, gluttony or wrath the Bordello offers something to indulge the mind. Originally started out as a prostitution ring by an Ex-Bandit Gang, the Bordello evolved over time becoming fancier and surprisingly respected among the people of Albion as it allowed for the pleasures and darker desires of its more questionable citizens to be expressed through means other than rampant murder and mayhem. Some Guildmembers are known to sometimes even take time off at the Bordello as a means of destressing. According to tales some believe the Bordello lies on some dark secrets that were taken to the grave by its original owners.
====Barrow Fields====
The calm rolling fields of Southern Albion, Barrow Fields was part of an Old Kingdom super city that was destroyed long ago by a fearsome dragon, the dragon scorched the land bare and over time nature grew over the scars left behind becoming a surprisingly pleasant field, the ominous past of the Barrow Fields still runs deep however as some ruins still stand to this day and some parts of the fields simply cannot grow due to the damage. Traders in recent years have used Barrow Fields as a hub, those that make it through Darkwood often trade the goods they've brought before heading into Oakvale.
====Thrush Pines====
The high cliffs of the ocean make traversal through this wooded area rather dangerous, the long trees obscure much of the land and their far-reaching roots make the terrain quite bumpy resulting in it being impossible for caravans to make consistent trips through the region. Over the years the trees have grown large and vast, though few in number their massive sizes almost blocks out the sun in some areas, some believe strange creatures that roam within the pinelands used magic to grow the trees larger allowing for them to frighten and attack travellers who took the path without knowledge of its dangers. Nowadays the area is dominated by bandits who use the dense foliage as a means of escape from the law and to store their belongings.
====Mispeak Mountain====
Though initially believed to be just a singular Mountain, the Mistpeak Mountain is actually a trio of Mountains and the valley that runs between them in South-East Albion. The region gets its name from a thick layer of misty fog that covers the land during most of the year, although it does let up somewhat during late Summer. Many know the mountains for stealing away travellers who enter the region only to never return, according to residents of Brightwall to the North the mountains are infested with Hobbes who're believed to have been stealing away children and adults, using the former to create more Hobbes and killing the latter for food.
====Gildvaul Valley====
Named after Gildory Valtius a legendary hero who had beautiful flowing golden hair and armour so bright and shiny that it actually blinded many who gazed upon it for too long, ironically Gildory's final quest saw him delve deep into the valley that would later adopt his name, never to return, some say that Gildory's spirit quells the monsters that inhabit the land allowing for safe passage through it as despite vicious creatures including mighty Jewel Trolls reside in the valley they're non-hostile towards many of the traders from Samarkand who have to travel through the valley to reach Albion.
====Skrelt Mountain====
Once believed to be the very tip of the bottom of the world it was later proven false by explorers who weren't terrified into submission by cults that happened to be present in the area. The discovery of the land south of Skrelt Mountain established the first contact between the Old Kingdom of Albion and Samarkand, later exploration provided revelation about the South Lands. Some believe that the people who spoke of the Mountain as being the bottom of the world were in fact creatures disguised as humans sent by the shadows of the void to fearmonger the citizens of Albion into submission during the Blades Era.
==Enemies==
Enemies in Fable are defined by certain groups, groups of enemies will be of the same species and follow the same allegiance, enemies within the same group can vary in how they attack however with some using Melee and/or Ranged Weapons while others may favour Magical approaches.
===Dummies===
Simply put, magically animate dolls. Though fairly weak they're durable, useful for the Guild as their dummies go through rigorous amounts of sword slashes, piercing arrows and bolts of lightning, putting a Dummy down is simple enough however as most Dummies are designed to go down in just a few hits. There are however some dummies which have escaped the guild over the years, no one's quite sure how some believe it's the work of a disgruntled mage in the Guild while others think the Dummies developed minds of their own, regardless these Feral Dummies can usually be found not too far from the Guild and will attack anything on sight, they can be put down although eventually they'll get back up, the best way to deal with them permanently is to burn them completely to their core destroying the magic that powers them in the process.

===Beetles===
Oversized insects, although common across Albion they're known more as pests or threats, farmers often have to deal with them attempting to eat their crops and children are taught from an early age how to deal with them. They're generally unintimidating although in groups can be somewhat of a nuisance, some are capable of creating a super-heated projectile from their spit which scholars believed may have helped ancient Mages learn to create the Flame Spell.
