Raziel wordlessly considered how he was supposed to get to Azure's realm. The scrying pits were gone... not exactly needed but they did speed things up a bit, and served as a focus.
Hmm... no matter... There's a tiresome old mage that needs to die.
Raziel abandoned his physical form, and allowed himself to pass through everything around him, even through the barriers between realms. He went through several realms without any trouble - he was almost alone in the Spectral Realm. After a time, Raziel reached his destination, and willed himself to stop falling through the Secret Geometry of the World. He landed in the Spectral Realm version of Azure's domain.
He hopped from living soul to living soul towards what Raziel perceived as a focal point in the strange energies in this would-be god's Realm. As he passed each soul, he implanted two things into the very core of their being, which would likely translate as either a thought they couldn't quite dismiss, or a subtle change in their behavior. In this case, Raziel implanted the same sensation in all of his victims: cold; and the same thought in each as well: Blood...NEED blood...
If it only partially worked, the victim would feel a bit nippy, and feel a need to eat a lot of freshly cooked bacon. If it mostly worked, the victim would shiver for several moments, and then feel a desire to drink someone's blood, preferably someone they knew. If the trick worked completely, then the victim would be in constant pain from the odd sensation of somehow feeling like they were in a blizzard... even when standing right next to a roaring fire, and they would feel a sudden need to sacrifice their closest friends and relatives to their god.
One way or another, Raziel was going to get a new body to inhabit... the fresher the better of course, but if he had to, he'd just hit the local cemetery.
