The Sarkonagael, also known as Secrets of the Shadewrights, was a spellbook of shadow magic[1] likely written by the mage Sarkon.[note 1]
Description[]
The tome was bound in black leather and had a silver skull on the cover.[2] Interior pages were black and had silver lettering that could only be read in pitch darkness.[3]
Contents[]
The Sarkonagael contained dozens of shadow magic spells of varying levels.[4] The book was considered especially dangerous because it contained the spell Sarkon's umbral simulacrum, which allowed a shadow mage to create a doppelganger of a person from shadowstuff.[5]
Known Chapters[]
- Of Nethermancy and Umbral Magicks[6]
- Adumbrations and Dismissals[6]
- The Seven Darks of Murghmö[6]
- Abjurations, Enchantments, and Conjurations[6]
Known Spells[]
- Sarkon's umbral simulacrum[5][7]
- The most excellent incantation of shadow-walking[6]
History[]
In the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, the rogue Jack Ravenwild recovered the tome in an attempt to keep it out of Myrkyssa Jelan's hands. The book disappeared from the record for over 100 years only to reappear in the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR when a mysterious source offered a large reward for its return.[8] Jack recovered the book from Sarbreen but cut the pages with the umbral simulacrum spell out of the book.[7]
