Name Book of Death
Icon 32px
A ghoulishly illuminated manuscript containing dark spells of Necromancy, written with inks distilled from corpses. Each page is filled with grotesque art depicting scenes of disgusting decay and horrifying death, with much of the text incorporated into the drawings as coils of entrails or arrangements of bone.
