A dust wight is an evil undead creature formed when elemental earth comes together with negative energy. Dust wights seek to destroy structures and other items made of stone or metal, efforts made especiall possible because of their touches that cause such objects to crumble apart.^[1]

The living should be wary in interrupting a dust wight's task of destruction. Slaying any mortal interlopers only adds to the delight of the dust wight's task. The aura of particles that surrounds a dust wight is a mortal danger to living creatures, for it causes petrification.^[1]

Descriptive Text

The discussion was heated. Albertus was insisting that it was a creature he stubbornly called "elemental" (not knowing that cultured people should refer to them as "primals"). I said more than once that it was just another kind of undead monster. The dust it was loosing around itself was just the dust of the grave.
I ordered three of my disciples to charge the creature along with me. We were successful. The creature was destroyed, though at the cost of the life one of my disciples and of Albertus. As soon as they neared the creature, the dust seemed to move on its own accord and entered their lungs and deposited on their skin. A few seconds later, they were two statues. Only my noteworthy fibre allowed me to resist its effect. I must say I did not found a skeleton inside the body. In truth, there was was no body, since the monster fell in a pile of dust after a few hits from my fey-forged mace and a few prayers to the goddesses.
I nevertheless stick to my hypotesis.
Anyway, one can witness the tombs of Albertus in Martira Bay. I paid for it with the money I gathered during my time as an adventurer. It is the one with the lifelike monument on the pedestal.
-From A recount of my exploit by Toret Warlock Claude Seymar, of Martira Bay.^[2]
