As a side effect to this ability, Veas lost her ability to sleep, instead passing out as her body gives way to sheer fatigue for a scant few hours every few weeks.

Backstory:
Veas was born in the small farming village of Reut. As she grew, she earned the reputation as an intelligent young girl, and began exhibiting a number of signs of magical talent. Nobody in the village recognized these signs, writing them off as good omens for the girl’s health. Around the time Veas turned twelve, Olvric Hyland, an exiled scholar of the University of Potestatis arrived and settled in the town, attracted by the solitude it would bring. It was not long before Veas’s potential was recognized, and the mage took her into his charge.

Olvric found a welcome apprentice in the young girl, teaching her what arcane magics he could to someone so young. Regardless, the man’s willingness to help the village however he could swiftly turned him to a pillar of the community. However, after a number of years, the scholar grew became discontent with his ability to harness arcane energy, and began searching for shortcuts to accumulate more.

In his search Veas became more of a test subject than an apprentice. His research started out rather harmless, but as time passed, Olvric became more and more desperate in his search, turning to more extreme methods. It was only a matter of time until one of these experiments failed, and when it did, the results were catastrophic. Veas's soul was half-torn from her body and twisted, robbing her of her affinity for the arcane as well as her ability to sleep. With time, found she was able to evoke some form of power from fresh blood, and eventually her own life force. Despite this, Olvric was disgusted with what he viewed to be a monstrous aberration, and cast her out from his care. The man accused her publicly of shucking off her humanity and making efforts to become a horror. Despite her protests, the people turned on her, chasing Veas from her home and exiling her.

The young girl lived a life of desperation in the following years, trying to come to terms with what her life had become. Much of her time was dedicated to researching what exactly had happened to her, but the young girl had no luck. With time, travel, and fatigue came complacency. After years of wandering, Veas came to Kolgin, having strayed far from home and honed her craft.
