>their eyes gouged by thorns
Thorns they created themselves, as the spell does. It has nothing to do with any punishment. Their injured body causes those branches to form
>The sorceries are fueled by blood, hence why the Staff of the Guilty involves trying to make "red Glintstone" from killing an animal.
More made up bullshit nonsense. The staff of guilty is described as Blood Sapling and is a smaller version of the giant thorns, proving once again they LITERALLY form those thorns with their own blood
>A heretical staff fashioned from a smoldering, withered sapling that turns the blood of sacrifices pierced by it into glintstone. Similar to hex magic.
