Necromantic spellcraft is not a careless hobby. Be certain, magi, that the acrid nether is what you desire before delving into the realm of death. The sacrifice for infernal power is life. The potential to lose yourself, both sanity and health, through the abuse of this power has been observed throughout antiquity and is no different in this day; take such examples to heart. It is always in the best interest of the prospective necromancer to remember that these things are not to be taken lightly and that, while information will not be withheld, personal restraint should be exercised by the wise necromancer. Let your mind be infused with these concepts; learn from the necromantic notes available herein but be mindful of the temptations of power which always threaten to overwhelm sensibility -- even the stoic restraint of a seasoned necromancer. History rushes with many lengthy parables to forewarn those that would seek power and achieve it only to be consumed by that same force but this is a lesson understood most poignantly by necromancers. One of the attributes that has set the necromancer apart from many other types of spell weaver is their respect for order, balance, precision, diligent study, discernment, and timing. Knowing the use of these skills will exact a cost makes one mindful of carefully timing, preparing for, anticipating, and selecting each spell with utmost precision. The frozen touch of death is a power beyond simple human comprehension -- so vast that a lifetime of study is barely as significant as dipping one's finger into the ocean. The art can bring knowledge of the nature of the soul, the power to manipulate it, and the ability to cause change in accordance with one's will through the rending of the spirit and whispers of geists, but carries hazards of its own. Do not fear death, but certainly respect it as a force so dreadfully powerful that its black fires could consume all of humanity in thanatoic holocaust and still be unquenched. As surely as we are born, live, and die to crumble back to the dust from which we were wrought, necromantic power is every bit as potent as the healing arts and every bit as damning to those who would attempt to misuse it. Wisdom now gazes upon you from these pages. Do with this information as you please but know the risks involved in aligning your mind with the void.
