The dark vortece is a mass of dark, swirling shadows. Little more is known about this deadly creature despite many attempts to study their origins. This is understandable when you consider the one well known fact about them: Simply being in the presense of a dark vortece is enough to endanger your life, due to their tendency to drain the life out of everything around them.
Hunting strategies
Only weapons that do crushing damage will be effective against dark vorteces.
Other information
Dark Catalyst is the only sorcerer spell that affects them. Minor elemental is also absorbed. Upon death, they may release hazy tenebrous orbs. Gem dealers will pay for them, and they vary widely in value (from under 100 silver to over 6000).
Behind The Scenes
Uthex Kathiasas called these "dyar rakul" (Iruaric: "dark cold shadows"), which were "other standard" (non-demonic) extra-planar entities from Rolemaster called Nycorac. Nycorac were mysterious entities made of some unknown kind of energy, who had the ability to move between planes of existence at will. They are not considered extraplanar beings for system purposes in GemStone IV.
They were extremely difficult to fight, due to their virtual invisibility, and immunity to almost all weapons. They would stalk their victims, who would only feel "cold chills", draining the life out of them. When you consider that no one knows how to summon them and their origins were unknown, with the nature of their energy beyond comprehension, that Uthex was forging them is supposed to be virtually impossible.
