Updates

I didn’t quite finish the entire Izlandic Working for CRAFTING MAGIC ITEMS, as it took a lot of research and writing, but I will have that for you soon, as well as CRAFTING A HAG STONE to protect the wearer against HAGS!

Meanwhile, here are 3 other things I have for ya!
   

——————————————————————

“This ONI spell allows the caster to conjure the EYES OF THE YOKAI to be used for spying or to REVEAL TO THE CASTER THAT A PRECIOUS ITEM HAS BEEN DISCOVERED.

This is an excellent spell as long as the caster has set up multiple contingencies to deal with such defilers.”

Saito 

The DM will have access to a detailed TABLE OF COMNTENTS. All of the TRAP / CURSE SPELLS will be easy to see/find. 

There will be directions how to handle this in roleplaying terms, so please do not worry.

——————————————————————

This is a great spell for roleplaying campaigns (DMs and players alike) that enjoy a little depth. 

“This spell causes a BRAND (of the caster’s choice) to be burned onto a thief’s body. This magical brand not only marks the infidel with a damning blemish upon their flesh, but more importantly, it allows me to hunt the thief down with an endless array of jinn, demons, or a legion of other magical creatures.

This spell is a PUNISHMENT TO ALL THIEVES foolish enough to raid my palace.”

”So, why would anyone in their right mind wish to create an IMP BOTTLE?

Believe it or not, and even under the watchful eye of the strongest of magicians, imps occasionally go rogue and attempt to cause harm, instill chaos, or make one’s plans go horribly awry. This is an expensive yet elaborate spell, but well worth the effort for those who consort with devils and demons. Regarding imps, quasits, impish gremlin-like beings, and the like, this conjuration renders the spell-like powers of these rogue imps completely ineffectual.

For casters of an advanced level, this spell also BESTOWS said magician with additional *magical abilities.”

P. S. Kinda (hopefully) cool DREAM or dreamlike experience.

Some of you know I’ve been dealing with some very troubled peeps over the most outlandish and “ideals” in human history. 

As a creator, I began (actually, quite some time ago) viewing them very much like the 9 dark wizards whose spells are featured in this spell book. As a “creative exercise”, I kinda put it into my head to come up with a creative solution that exemplifies them and to bind them in D&D 5e terms, more or less. 

I fell asleep knowing I had little more than two hours before I had to wake to deal with other fun things, and do you know that kind of amorphous state you get into that’s somewhere between sleep and being awake? I was (just an estimate here) about 75% asleep, or so it seemed, and something broke the silence that was way outside the norm of anything I’ve heard before while sleeping. 

What was the sound? Well, even though I’ve never heard this particular sound before, all I can say is this.

It sounded like an imp being sucked into a bottle I put under my bed to trap it. It sounded like how a plastic bottle would sound if it partially imploded, but not completely. 

Was it a dream? Who knows. 

Maybe I’ll have some extra time to check under my bed this fine weekend to see what’s there.

5-1-2026 - PHAROAH TOUCH & 5-1-2026 - BEAST SHIELD

Please forgive the brevity of this update. I had to write a very lengthy, detailed, and “legally correct” explanation (on another platform) regarding something. It kinda took the normal enthusiasm out of my usually more colorful posts. 

This NECROMANCER SPELL allows the caster to touch a victim or emit a CONE OF NECTROTIC ENERGY (up to 120 feet) to punish the NECROMANCER’S hated enemies.

5-1-2026 - BEAST SHIELD

Please forgive the brevity of this update. I had to write a very lengthy, detailed, and “legally correct” explanation (on another platform) regarding something. It kinda took the normal enthusiasm out of my usually more colorful posts. 

This JINN SPELL enables the wizard to conjure a “hibernating” CR - 3 MONSTER and cast its “slumbering” form onto a warrior’s shield (or other similar surface) to be activated by a magical word or phrase of the caster’s choosing. This monster (5 choices available) then acts (once activated) as the shield bearer’s companion, or the caster’s deadly guardian.

Working on some backstories fueled by hatred from The Dark Enclave targeting several of their main enemies. 

Excerpts like this serve purposes other than entertainment.

 • Getting the players (and maybe even the DM) to DESPISE THE EVIL ONES they face in these adventures may cause them to care enough about thwarting these wicked ones and strengthen their resolve in stamping the whackos out

 • CHARACTER - These ENEMY HIT LISTS show the twisted characteristics of these evil sorcerers and the lengths they are willing to go to eliminate their enemies in the most depraved ways possible 

 • ADVENTURE INTROS - Excerpts such as this may become one of the reasons the characters embark on these dangerous adventures in the first place. The enemy in question may be a captive the PCs must rescue, complete with the stats of a highly valued NPC.

This tale of bitter hatred is shared by the demonologist / demonolator known as Artemis Crowley, aka Alamander Blacktongue. 

On the surface, and in public, Crowley retains a seemingly cool, calm, and relatively jovial exterior. His true character, however, is darkly tarnished by envy, yearnings for depraved forms of entertainment, and a profoundly deep resentment toward any beings whose beliefs are opposed to his.

Though he rarely loses his temper in public, he enjoys nothing more than to destroy his enemies in as many ways as possible. 

——————————————————————

The Paladin known as SIR VONNIGAR has been a thorn in my side for quite some time. By way of some so-called “Divine Blessings”, Vonnigar has discovered the actions I’ve taken in warping and distributing updated copies of his country’s holy books.

Behold his unholy babblings…

He has taken it upon himself to ‘correct my misdeeds’ by personally handing out prayer parchments with accompanying and very revealing illustrations of yours truly ‘performing such foul acts’ upon his innumerable followers.

I’ve considered afflicting him with LEPROSY that would slowly but inevitably erode his handsome visage, but also his dexterous hands and fingers as well. After considerable thought, however, I’ve come to the regretful conclusion this would only raise further suspicions as well as bolster his preachings. Sadly, making a MARTYR of Sir Vonnigar is no longer an option. I do believe it is time for another solution, which is why I have brought this matter to this enclave and to come up with an ideal solution to bring about this fool’s demise. 

My revised solution would be for his abduction, followed by a most humiliating torture, followed by his complete and total DISAPPEARANCE.

I hereby request, in writing, that the other eight lords of the DARK ENCLAVE issue WRITTEN suggestions by or before the time this current council meeting draws to a close. 

As an added incentive to those thinking of delivering some half-hearted proposal, allow me to raise the stakes and point out the fact that Sir Vonnigar’s HOLY WEAPONS may eventually become items of interest to this council. For example, I do believe this crusader’s HOLY SWORD could be CORRUPTED to serve our needs rather well. Perhaps one of our ANTI PALADIN CHAMPIONS we’ve been grooming for the last several years could make good use of it. I would like the opportunity to work closely with our resident arcane alchemist, Baltec Choy, on this particular endeavor.

With that, I await your valued consultations.

Yours in Darkness,

Alamander Blacktongue

8 SUGGESTIONS

Saito Nobunaga

We each provide a champion of considerable martial skill for Sir Vonnigar to fight ~ one after the other. No rest, no mercy.

——————————————————————

Zosu Al Zafir

Sand worms to swallow him whole.

——————————————————————

Vocembi

Vlas Belagos

His blood will be my paints. His flesh, my clay. He will become a bloody MURAL for our viewing pleasure.

——————————————————————

Neville Verhoven

Nicodemus Verhovik

What better way to blaspheme a holy man than by turning him into the very thing he fights so fiercely against? Kill him, and then I will raise him as one of my undead. Sadly for him, he WILL have fleeting but VERY PAINFUL MEMORIES of his once proud life as a paladin.

——————————————————————

Elbirret Mastroserio

You mentioned the term "DISAPPEARANCE." I can cast a spell where he will be completely invisible to all others, save for this council. 

——————————————————————

Herzog Holzer

Hiring a clan of humanoids to attack him and his entourage at a strategic location. 20 to one odds will be more than enough. Have him captured and brought here for next year’s festivities. Allow for some of his men to live and witness his abduction. This will undoubtably raise the ire of his soldiers and force their collective hand to hunt down and kill our paid patsy humanoids of choice, leaving no loose ends or those that could be interrogated.

Silas Green

A living sacrifice to great Cthulhu.

Baltec Choy

A slow dissolve in one of my ACID BATHS would be most effective, if not deliciously amusing!

This spell offers a simplified and streamlined variation of any established or home-brew rules regarding fire damage. This spell does NOT cover fire damage to individual beings either, but you can certainly handle this omission. This spell focuses primarily on STRUCTURAL DAMAGE DUE TO A CONFLAGRATION.

Many of the spells in this massive tome (THE MAGNARON) the adventurers seek have slightly “open” sets of rules in case these spells are desired to be used with/for/in a different fantasy RPG. This spell is one of the few that calls for the DM to be a bit more creative regarding the RULES and NUMBERS for when this spell takes effect!

I have to move a great deal of things from an old computer to a new one, and backup systems, so I will be back next week.
