Lesson 2: Spell Of Twisted Fates

Pognetti's Pages of Thaumaturgy
Written By: Taylor Howe

Dear Magnus,

If you are reading this page this early...then I fear the worst events have already happened...

No...this was not your fault, as these events were predestined to happen...however, I just hoped you would have been ready enough to help save the King...the loss of his soul to the darkness, only makes what I am about to tell you, even more dangerous...

Do not feel like you have let me down...

This is why, I title these letters, in my spellbook to you, as lessons after all...we must all learn, now more than ever...for the world we have called home for some time, is now set on course, for a state of great change...

For this is why your next Lesson...is to be the Spell Of Twisted Fates...

This is a spell of 'Ancient Dark Blood Majik' Magnus...dark arts practised by the Orc Shaman of the Temple Of Duskzog...

I would not recommend you take the following spell lightly Magnus, to become the Maji I know you can become, you need to immerse yourself into your craft and be versed in all uses of Majik...I wish you did not have to dabble in such a dark incantation this early into your training, but we have no choice now...given the circumstances... 

In my apothecary, on the shelves, you will find everything you need...follow these instructions very carefully my boy...you only have one shot at this...it is already bad enough that the Spell Of Twisted Fates binds your soul to the darkness...but you cannot let it consume you...promise me you will not let it!

Follow these instructions flawlessly...you must!

Grab my cauldron from the backroom, and place it on the stone altar. For all the ingredients you are about to mix together will fill this cauldron with plumes of vile smoke...you must recite the words of the incantation as you add the ingredients...not before, not after...do not fumble these words...

Get ready to summon the darkness, as the fates of all our worlds become twisted... 

"As above we so below
Twist these fates...Friend or Foe
Combine these evils...With my blood
Meld these words...As thick as mud
Darkest nights...And brightest days
Come spiralling though...These thickest of haze
Hear my voice...Sisters Three
What is torn...Bind to me
Shifting chaos...From Void beyond
Brackus become...From cauldron pond
Elven I am...Shadow to be
Twist these fates...Sisters Three"

The ingredients for the cauldron are as follows:

2 roots from the Doom Hollow Cypress
1 full vial of Green Revival Ooze
1 Stinging Nettle from the Moonlit Meadows Of Mystery
3 pieces of crushed Brimstone Dust
1 drop of soul from the Soul River Styx
and 4 drops of your Elven Blood...

With this spell...heed these warnings now my son...the Ancient Maji have spoken of the day in which 'The Great Sunder' was suppose to take place...little did I know however, that I personally, would not be there to witness it...or be the Maji to cast this, of all spells...

I am sorry for this burden my son...

You, Magnus, are all that is left of our legacy of Maji, in a world spiralling out of control...

Make the Maji proud Magnus...after all, you have the 'Heart Of The Raven' beating strong inside your chest...

May the Ninth Elder be with you always...and let the fates unfold...
