Tome of the Mysteries
 |
"You who would harness thunder to the chariot of your will and wield the winds with your breath - do you think these things are owed to you? That they will yield to the investigations of your mind¸ as a ripe fruit to the knife? Does the water obey the stone? No¸ the water¸ with its supple flow¸ carves the stone.
So does magic carve your soul.
As the sea hides its secrets from the land¸ so magic cloaks itself¸ revealing its depths only to those who plunge in. The Temple of the Mysteries lies sunk deep below these torrents¸ under the sediment of centuries. Can you hold your breath long enough to dig it out?"
- The Tyrian¸ rumored archmaster
This book includes:
* Advice on creating your own spells and understanding how cultural beliefs affect magic
* Speculations on the nature of archmastery and the rumored Abyssal Watchtowers
* A plethora of new spells and item enchantments
