Content Note.

Due to the nature this spellbook, there is an element of gore and horror intrinsic to it. While this element is intentional and honestly unavoidable, I didn’t set out to be excessively gross or disturbing with either function or descriptions. That being said, it may not be appropriate for especially young or squeamish players. Please use discretion.
