Type	Book
Name	Necronomicon

An extremely rare book, powerful and sinister. Its binding is made from delicate skin of unknown provenance. Many foolhardy magicians have tried to study this tome, only to find themselves entangled within necromantic forces they could not hope to control.

Reading the Necronomicon requires you to either have both level 6 in Spellcasting and level 10 in Necromancy, or to be a follower of Kikubaaqudgha, who will give it to you as his final book gift. It can sometimes be found at the end of the Crypt.
