## Creation information

### Place of Creation

Occultica

***The Necronomicon,*** also known as ***"The Accursed Book,"*** contains many secrets of ***the Celestials***, and also contains all spells under the ***Necromancy*** school, and various spells from other schools, but is also an accursed item. It is a quest item, and is needed by ***the Nine High Wizards***, to prevent anyone getting their hands on it to cause havoc.

No one knows when it was written, all that is known however, is a story. It's one of the most powerful spell books to ever exist.

## ***About***

### ***Story***

As told by ***one of the Nine High Wizards;***

"A long time ago, way before the creation of ***Gateway Portals***, and way before the incident in ***Aethelney***, a past ***High Wizard of Necromancy*** decided to be a rebel to our magical code, and instead of memorizing all of his abilities like everyone else, he, in secret, compiled all of his magical abilities and spells into a single book. After many days of compiling this, the book shifted and altered from an outward appearance of a normal manuscript, to one heavily torn up, and seemingly alive. He had fabricated a grimoire, as a formerly non-magical entity containing all knowledge of an incredibly powerful magical entity, such as this past ***High Wizard of Necromancy***, caused it to morph and transform. Somehow, he gained access to forbidden knowledge. Supposedly, this book also contains supposed ***Celestial*** secrets, about how to defeat all deities, along with random other magical evil spells."

"After some time, he anxiously told ***the Eight other High Wizards*** that supposedly, "it had vanished into thin air, leaving a portal on the wall of my chamber." This portal supposedly led to a dimension of undead and soulless, yet sort-of living creatures, as recounted from his words. We believe it has disappeared into ***Skël***. Every single adventurer, or magic user who has visited here in the last 360 years since it's disappearance somehow knows the dangers of ***that dimension***, and all have refused. I feel ashamed that high authority, upper-class magical entities have to ask this of weaker beings, but I beg of you to go to ***Skël*** and reacquire it for us. If brought into the wrong hands, someone now becomes as powerful as the current ***High Wizard of Necromancy***, not bound to the same dimension that ***High Wizard of Necromancy*** is. ***The Necronomicon's*** wielder can roam freely, causing chaos. Please, I beg of you, get it back for us. We can't leave, but you can. We'll make everything sold here half off."

### ***If Read By The Player***

If the player decides to read it, they will learn all ***Necromancy*** spells, and various other spells, regardless of whether their class can, or cannot, and they will also be permanently cursed, with ***"the Curse of the Skull King's Fate."*** This curse prevents the player from learning, and casting any other spell that isn't a **Soul Spell**, a **Necromancy** spell, a racial spell, or a spell in the grimoire.

Slowly over the course of a week, ***"the Curse of the Skull King's Fate"*** will rot away at the player's ***Cosmic Soul***, destroying it, as the magic is incredibly powerful. The player's soul will be sent to ***Ø***, never able to return again to the mortal world (even with a potential ***Gauntlet of Ø*** completion and extra lives), and their body is forcibly turned into the next ***Skull King*** where their original body lied.
