Cosm: Orrorsh

Possibilities: 8

Tapping Difficulty: 20

Purpose: To spread knowledge of dark magic.

Description: This large tome is bound in decaying leather and embossed with mysterious symbols. The cover of the book features a small, strange skull with red gemstones in its eye sockets and a blue gem in its mouth.

Powers: Holding or reading from the Maleficex raises the caster’s Magic Axiom to a minimum of 16, even in a Pure Zone that wouldn’t otherwise support such arcane energy. If a sentient being is sacrificed before the book its Tapping Difficulty drops down to 10 for one hour.

Restrictions: The Possibilities within the Maleficex may only be used to enhance tests for magic skills.
