-'''Murder''' is a [[Sage Study|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field|field]] of [[Grace (sage field)|Grace]], encompassing the deliberate and illicit act of ending the lives of humanoid individuals, typically characterized by its lack of legality and a clear intent to cause harm. Mastery of this field grants the practitioner a certain detachment from any emotional reactions they might otherwise experience when dealing with victims, regardless of the circumstances, including situations involving the murder of children, pregnant women, officials, nobility, individuals of exceptional talent, or those revered for their piety. All forms of homicidal acts are included within the scope of this study.

 The study of murder also delves into the realm of inflicting pain, whether for the purpose of sadistic pleasure or to extract concealed information from victims. Proficiency in this aspect of the discipline imparts knowledge of various tools and techniques, some of which may have alternative applications within the context of games or other activities. As characters advance in their proficiency, their unique skills become highly sought after by the upper echelons of society. Consequently, even individuals engaged in this macabre profession have the potential to attain a lofty social standing, notwithstanding the grim nature of their chosen vocation.
