Spells have been my life as a mage. I myself
invented some of them and some even carry my
name. A spell is a mage most powerful
weapon, but can be their most powerful shield
or an aid to soldiers in war.
Some mages decide to specialize in one of the

four elements, but some, usually the most
powerful, choose a wide range of elements.
You can do as you like, but aware of your
options.
Not only necromancers can use necromancy,
but its side effects can be rather displeasing.
Of course, necromancy is a powerful source
of power and can make you feel

invincible sometimes, but, again, be aware
of your choices. Some mages, as myself,

Rituals
Rituals are not what you usually chose for the
offensive. They are helpful to every magic user
and can be the most useful tools for traveling
mages. The only downside for rituals is the need
for specific ingredients, some of which can be
very rare.
Some rituals are not based on conventional

magic, but on some of the forbidden arts.
Necromancy rituals can be used by almost all
magic users and some are described in this
book. Goetia rituals are more complex and
specialized rituals and the chaos is extracted from
different sources. Goetia is practiced only
by demonologists and are described on another

section of the book.

Necrotic Damage
Necrotic damage works differently to other types of damage, they leave scars on your soul. Every time you take
necrotic damage, you must write it down. You can heal the HP you lost only over time, but the damage on your soul is
done and this is something necromancers have to be aware of. There are 10 thresholds, each with 10 steps. Nine of
them are bad consequences and the last one is a good one. If you heal necrotic damage using the Heal Soul ritual and
this makes you go back a step, you lose the consequence. The damage column is referring to accumulated damage.

The Double Cross of Alzur is a powerful and mysterious ritual

created by the mage Alzur. This ritual inspired the illustration on
the cover of this book and made possible the summoning of
gargantuan and powerful beasts. The creature here described is
absurdly powerful and should only be used at the end of long
campaigns when the players have improved their characters and
gathered some magical items and strong weapons. This a monster
that should be faced with an army, much like a dragon, and a
confrontation with it is meant to kill. Feel free to use the Double
Cross of Alzur as a campaign motivation as it is a dangerous and
rare ritual that is stuff of legends.
