Gut Magic

Gut Magic, also called Gastromancy, the Shamanic Victuals, and the Lore of the Great Maw, is the form of magic used by the ogre shamans known as Butchers. Gut magic simply relies on the caster consuming the correct ingredients and speaking an incantation. If the Great Maw finds them worthy of its blessing it will give the caster and those in proximity to him or her some very powerful effects, though if the caster is unworthy the incantation will produce some less-than-satisfactory results, whether it be completely consuming the caster from inside out to some very powerful flatulence that even Nurgle would be impressed by.

Spells

 * Bonecrusher: Shoveling a handful of ribs, skulls, and femurs into his mouth, the Butcher crunches them up even while he curses his foes, who immediately find their own bones breaking with loud snapping sounds.


 * Braingobbler: Selecting a severed head attached to one of the meaty hooks secured about his person, the Butcher chomps through the skull and gobbles up the grey dainty within, projecting his victim's worst nightmares into the minds of his enemies.


 * Bullgorger: Greedily devouring the heart of a bull Rhinox or Mournfang, the Butcher can project raw vitality imbued by such a worthy sacrifice to the Great Maw.


 * The Maw: By consuming the better part of a large beast, the Butcher can summon the power of the Great Maw itself, causing the ground to split wide open beneath an enemy and revealing a tooth-lined, bottomless pit that hungrily snaps and snarls in anticipation of its next meal. Eternal pain awaits any who fall within...


 * Spinemarrow: The Butcher holds up a gory spinal column and sucks out all the blood and marrow to empower his companions.


 * Toothcracker: By consuming a hunk of tooth-breaking granite, the Butcher bestows the rock's resilience and the sturdiness of the mountains themselves into his brethren.


 * Trollguts: Downing the toxic and utterly repulsive innards of a Troll isn't easy, but by doing so a Butcher can magically transfer the beast's supernatural healing ability onto himself or nearby companions. The Ogres' wounds seem to stitch themselves together before the eyes of their dumbfounded enemies.
