Halloweekend: Manual of Witchcraft and Alchemy.

Manual of Witchcraft and Alchemy.

Manual of Witchcraft and Alchemy: This is the very book used by the Sanderson sisters to learn the secret arts of Witchcraft. The vile tome is inked in human blood, bound in human skin, and contains spells and recipes uttered by the devil himself.

Happy Halloween!

I haven’t seen Hocus Pocus 2. I’m surprised Hocus Pocus earned a sequel after so many years. Seems like a heartless cash grab, but again I haven’t seen it so I don’t know.  Regardless, the book is a great spooky or horrific tome to use in your games.

I hope you enjoyed my spooky items celebrating Halloweekend this year. See you this Sunday for more items from Wind Waker.

Be excellent to everyone.

Halloweekend: Sacred books from the Pharaonic Age

Sacred books from the Pharaonic Age

Book of the Dead: This locked within the book’s obsidian pages are spells to raise the dead as undead horrors and incantations to bind such creatures to your will. Such powers were deemed beyond the purview of mortals so the book was sealed in a hidden vault. If the vault were ever breached, the thief would need the long lost puzzle key if they wished to wield its dread power.

Book of Amun-Ra: Said to contain all the secret incantations known to the priesthood, this solid gold book was hidden to keep the powerful spells from falling into the wrong hands. One of the most dangerous spells could steal the life from a person and use it to restore life to the dead. Thankfully the book can only be opened with a special key that has been lost to time.

Puzzle Key: The golden and black books of the dead are both sealed with locks that can only be opened with a copy of this puzzle key. The key itself is a hollow box whose interlocking top opens to an eight pointed star. These keys must have been associated with the secrets of the dead they open not just the books, but also the sarcophagi of honored individuals and sealed relics of the god of the dead.

Three items from the absolutely delightful Mummy films starring Brendan Fraiser. I earnestly love them with all my heart and hope you enjoy anything as much as I enjoy them.

Halloweekend is ending tomorrow on Halloween! Check back in tomorrow for one more spooky item befitting the season.

Be excellent to everyone.

Halloweekend: Rathmite Ancestor Skull

 Rathmite Ancestor Skull

Priests of Rathma are better known as the unnerving necromancers emerging from the jungles of the east. This skull set in black iron fittings is the honored remains of a fallen death mage, their body now a focus for the magics of a new generation of necromancers. These necromancers fiercely defend the balance from any threat, celestial, infernal, or mortal.

----------

The cinematic trailer for the Diablo IV necromancers has a beautiful glowing skull focus that I just love.

To celebrate the weekend leading up to Halloween we are departing our regularly scheduled programming to bring you five spooky items from pop culture. Stay tuned every day through Halloween for more item cards.

Be excellent to everyone.
