Black Magic Beastman

Lore
You couldn't achieve anything with power alone. That even went for the lionman who had unparalleled physical strength. That was why he needed magic. However, most of the other beastmen had very little aptitude for acquiring magic skills. He worked hard in his workshop to the point where he practically bled. It wasn't until he was old and grey that he earned the title of "Supreme Beastman Sorcerer."
