“Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But [Lot's] wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”
-KJV Bible, Genesis 19:24-6.


Useful Info

Pillars of salt are the remains of demons or undead which have been utterly destroyed by Zin's Recite ability. They are harmless, extremely fragile, and fall apart on their own after a few turns have passed.

Tips & Tricks

None needed. They rarely survive long enough to even get in your way.

Trivia

The concept of someone being turned into a pillar of salt is taken from the Book of Genesis, chapter 19, where Lot's wife disobeys God by looking back at the burning cities of Sodom and Gomorrah; as punishment, she is immediately turned to a pillar of salt.
