Criminal — the entry onto the Path of the Abyss, and it is the only one where the very name of the step points not to a craft and not to a gift, but to a sentence.
The body is sturdy, the instincts are sharp;
Criminal skill — together with the potion comes knowledge of a multitude of skills for which a person is called a criminal, and on top of that — a good combat ability.
There is no mysticism on the ninth step. There is a sturdy and dangerous person who knows how to break locks, strike from ambush, and evade the law.
The formula explains where everything will move next better than any description: besides parts of a wild dog and a murderous black crow, the composition includes spoils or a trophy obtained by crime, and ten drops of tears of the victim of that crime.
That is, already at the entry the path demands not hunting, but another's misfortune. Further on this will only intensify: the seventh step will ask for the skin of one killed by one's own hand, the fourth — for the hearts of ninety-nine Otherworldly ones.
