eitr, harvested from the world tree, fuels magic. magic appears to have a corrupting influence on creatures in valheim. eikthyr is a magic fueled deer who seeks vengeance on you for killing his herd. the elder a magic twisted shoot of the world tree who also seeks vengeance for killing his children. bonemass a blob held together by magic forces, which may have also caused the destruction of the draugr and their land (a magic weapon gone wrong?) moder may have actually been a response to the cult of the wolf using fire magic. did the jotun also draw eitr from the world tree, and did that lead to their destruction?
what are the consequences of our use of magic? are we following our own path to destruction? does our exploitation of the world tree anger odin? our we poisoning yggdrasil, and threatening the destruction of all the worlds?
