I had a horrifying lore idea for Soaring. So Petroleum Oil is made from the carbon remains of plants and invertebrates from back when the earth was mostly tropical swamps. In Soaring all living things have some kind of uncanny magical ability, but only the Tannin so far have been stated to have the trait where they release all their elemental energy as an explosion upon natural death. For most creatures I imagine their magic slowly denatures form it's specific form into a natural magical ambience which is redistributed into the environment gradually.

What would happen if all that magic got trapped for a long period of time with nowhere to go and unable to denature into the ambient magic of the environment but corrupts over time creating a chaotic viscous pool of wild magic that can infect flesh and turn a creature's own magical nature against them causing wild mutations?

This creature used to be one of the Teostani Dragons of the deep earth who probably dug into a pocket of ground oil and was infected and left isolated by his companions as he mutated into something horrifying. At this point he might not even recognize friend or family as his mind has been warped like his body.

Scientists say sun's influence penetrates into deep Earth

"For years, scientists believed that changes in the Earth's interior, such as volcanic eruptions and tectonic plate collisions, primarily affected the surface environment."

"(...) a new study published in Nature Communications has revealed a surprising new aspect: solar radiation can also affect the Earth's deep interior."

Solar radiation varies with latitude, creating temperature gradients on the sea surface that affect the distribution of marine life. These carbon-rich organisms are transported into the Earth's interior by the subduction of oceanic plates. Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered that this process significantly affects the redox state of arc magma.

The "redox" state of arc magma refers to the balance between reducing (losing oxygen or gaining electrons) and oxidizing (gaining oxygen or losing electrons) conditions within magma formed in volcanic arcs. Marine organisms serve as organic carbon and act as a major reducer for the solid Earth. Consequently, the redox state of arc magma can reflect how the sun's influence penetrates deep into the Earth."

If I suddenly disappear again you know why WHAT IS MY DADS PROBLEM

So it's my sister's day to feed the dog [we have it on a schedule], and she's not home. So I asked my brother to do it. Basic enough, right? Totally uncomplicated? Well, apparently, my dad wanted ME to do it, and he never said that, and he started SCREAMING AT ME? OVER MY BROTHER FEEDING THE DOG? And threatening to ground me and take my phone until the fall again and that my mom "can't protect me anymore" because she's out with my sister and won't be home until Monday night. All this over somebody else feeding an animal.

Bloodline Power: Earth Glide

The powers of the living rock are within you, and your communion with the strength of stone is refined and enhanced as your power grows.

At 15th level, you can glide through any sort of natural earth or stone as easily as a fish swims through water, with a burrow speed equal to half your normal speed. You do not leave a tunnel or trace of your passage. You can use this ability for 1 minute per sorcerer level each day. The duration need not be continuous, but it must be used in 1-minute increments.

Bloodline Power: Strength of Stone

The powers of the living rock are within you, and your communion with the strength of stone is refined and enhanced as your power grows.

At 20th level, your flesh becomes as hard as stone, giving you DR 10/adamantine, and you become immune to petrification. You suffer no penalties while squeezing through tight spaces and are immune to bull rush, drag, grapple, reposition, and trip maneuvers, and to push and pull effects as long as you are standing on the ground.
