I ran something like that in one of my campaigns once. Any casters had to make a deal with an outsider and as they grew more powerful they took on more traits of the outsider. Unfortunately none of my players were interested in any sort of caster for that campaign. I brought in a fire mage npc that was bonded to an efreeti but they hated him and we ended up with a new campaign a few weeks later when our schedules matched up again. He wore a cloak to hide horns and flesh that grew increasingly red

I really like the idea of body horror in fantasy settings.  Specifically as the cost of using magic

Fire mages with hands of charcoal and embers

Water mages who’re living columns of water from the waist down

Necromancers with withered, skeletal arms

Sure, you can twist the universe to your will, but you lose a little of your humanity each time you do

LN War priest if your still looking

Friends, I have something to tell you…

I’m finally ready to admit that I’m not an SJW. I’ve been living a lie. The truth is, I’m actually a Social Justice Paladin.

Who wants to join my party of Social Justice Adventurers?

Arcane, Court Mage of the gods

Called by some the god of men, by others a troublesome trickster. Arcane is not truly worshiped, he has no priests, no cult, or temple. He is, however, revered by the Circle of Arcane-formally the Imperial Circle of Mages-as a great teacher and is in the circle’s official doctrine the Archmage of the circle. While most of the new gods have chosen various mortals as their champions over the last 1500 years Arcane has a notable history of setting up adventures as great heroes to save the kingdom, the people, the world, other things which need to be saved, or recovered, or destroyed. None know why this god is so concerned with the affairs of mortals, some say that he does this only out of his noble heart, although most would admit that the god must somehow benefit from the actions of these heroes. Arcane has no Clerics, however his crest is an open eye on the right page of an open book.

Bianca, Queen of the gods

In life Bianca ruled as Empress of the Undician Empire, but slowly lost faith in her draconic overlords. She has been called first of the new gods and rules over them with strength and justice, with a touch of kindness. Worshiped by Paladins, lawful good fighters, and Cleric devoted to light and the forces of good. Her symbol is a three headed black bear. Her worshipers tend to pray to her at noon when the sun is highest in the sky. Bianca’s temples do not charge for healing.

I imagine my parties Sorcerer would attempt to find another way. He has already refused to kill a werelion just because magic has ruined her life like it destroyed his. Unfortunately for my world it couldn't be as simple as finding a new power source for the warforged as the source of their power is one and the same as their mind and soul. To switch it with anything else would still end the person the old warforged used to be.

How would you spin this scenario?

You’ve got a beloved wizard Warforged NPC that’s powered by an object the PCs need to destroy in order to save the world, basically. This Warforged has saved their asses at least twice, and you can tell they like interacting with this Shield Guardian sort of character.

Eventually, though, they learn about the source of the NPC’s power, its life force it needs to “live.” This is an ethical dilemma I’m considering pitching to my players, but I want to hear how others would make plans based on what they anticipate their players to do about this moral dilemma.
