hey guys, looking for the 23 Dark Librams of Occultic Mathmagic (ORIGINAL EDITIONS ONLY, PLEASE) to operate this Loom of Darkness I found in one of my towers. Will trade Crystal of Temporal Hatred, or Hobgoblin growvats, that I no longer have a use for. Serious inquiries Only.


And to YOU KNOW WHO .. I want my Copy of Litanies of The Sunken Stars back, or I swear to the Thousand Spells Known To Sorcery you're gonna have more to worry about than some abbed out normies knocking over your shelf of transcendent curios.

Can the Crystal be modified for Eternal Hatred purposes? I know, Temporal Hatred is almost as good as Eternal Hatred but I kind of need to be sure of things for... reasons.

Sure, do you have any runes of recursion? just slap that bad boy on, and the hate should loop indefinitely. I knew a guy who powered his scrying rig for years doing that.


Anyway, which one of you is siphoning dread dust from the 12th Umbral Plane under The Saturnal Declination. I've been cultivating that dread dust for the last 66 lunar cycles, and some bozo decides to help himself. Dread Dust doesn't grow itself! And by the way, I'm getting really sick of hearing skeleton dogs howling at the new moon... I have half a mind to call the HOA.

I used to do the whole 'town' thing, but it gets so draining. The hustle and bustle, the gentrifying lesser nobles coming in, turning my favorite abandoned mill into an artisan grainery. Sure, you have access to live stock, reagents, night life..etc.. but I tell you, investing in a translocating castle that only appears in the mists every 13 years under the ghastly light of a blood moon is the way to go. One night of pure malevolent revelry, and you save a fortune on property taxes. Just make sure to hex your soil ahead of time, to keep out squatters.

You forget to pay the shadow tax on ONE eldritch horror, and they're on your butt. Here's a good tip though... get a dragon (like the skeleton of one, or a lesser wyrm...definitely don't mess with the fully grown ones...so annoying, with their 'true tongue' and 'lies'), then claim all your wizard gold and jewels as 'nesting materials' on your occult tax return.

The whole thing took care of itself as it turns out. My ex-apprentice was using the dread dust to summon a corrupting horror beast to send after me. But unfortunately for him he sent it here right as the paladin was attacking me. The paladin assumed that I summoned it and killed it, but not before getting infected by my ex-apprentices dark corruption spell which he'd cast on the beasts claws. Here's where it gets great, my ex-apprentice didn't change the spell from what I had taught him, so I was able to immediately inflame the corruption, before the paladin could cleanse it, turning him into my Blackguard slave. My idiot ex-apprentice stepped through his portal and instead of seeing me dead (as if a simple horror beast could kill me), got an unholy sword to the face.

So my ex-apprentice is dead, I have a new Blackguard, and I kicked the horror beast back through the portal into your dread dust patch. Once that thing composts you'll get like 10x the yields from it guaranteed.

Listen, this was heirloom artisan dread dust, buddy! I don't appreciate you mucking up my dread dust patch! We'll see, just give me 13 more lunar cycles to test the quality.... At least we don't have yahoos running around caked in dread dust anymore.... I expect you'll at least lend me access to some of your rarer tomes as compensation...

Haven't you ever read the 'Lesser Studies of The Liturgies of Ironic Causality'. Dude, Wizards definitely don't have boyfriends or girlfriends, and especially 'loved ones'. That's why we hang out in our towers ALONE. By learning wizard magic, you've caused a casual loop to have lost your love ones in the first place. Classic rookie move. My condolences, nerd.

Yes it's fine. Everything is permitted... so long as you Keep The Laws.


Keep The Laws and OSHA inspectors will give you a free pass, mostly. They're all about The Laws.


The Law has many Loopholes. It's not evil to take advantage of them, but it is evil to not petition for their closing. So... there you go I guess.


My bad. I was making some notes, no one answered when I asked (into a portable hole connected to The Abyss) if anyone didn't want me to take it from your library. The Law requires attempting to get ritual permission but it doesn't exactly spell out how... anyway there may be some residual dark silverflame notation where I improved some things and took some notes, no big deal. They only show up in natural light, they don't show up under bone tallow candlelight or eldritch flames, you'll never even notice.

That's it. and this goes to everyone in this thread...my library is off limits! Consider all of my tomes hexed. That goes double for you Rainbowbeard The Malevolent, Champion of the isles of Forgotten Hate, Whisperer of The 8 Illegal Phrases, Friend to False Dreams Of Bezos!

Dude, you knew I needed it back to summon a Darkmoon vampire by the last new moon when I loaned it to you. Luckily for you these paladins had like six of them in their 'forbidden library' down here in the undercrypts otherwise my undead army would be knocking on your door.

Speaking of which it is going to take ages to inventory all the dark equipment these guys had. They had an eldritch abomination here sealed behind holy force fields. I know what you're thinking, yes they should have used transdimensional force fields. They were like a decade out from this little guy burrowing into the dark realms below and ushering in a new age of madness and terror. Paladins think holy power is the answer to everything. I swear I saw one try to use holy power on a tardy school kid once.

So I'm thinking that before the paladins took over there was some sort of doomsday cult here. I'm thinking of secretly starting it back up, using the cathedral as a cover. Then I'll convert this undercrypt into a lab space, and I'll finally be able to turn that old lab in my tower into my gameday room. Get a big TV, a nice couch just I'm time for the playoffs.

I once drank too much moonwine, and thought it would be a good idea to infuse a demon into a sword..you know... get a sassy talking sword that hungers for blood?

Hey fellow Evil Wizards... does anyone know any incantations, invocations, or hexes to get a good parking spot in an urban core?

Just turn elf blood into gold. Mortal Money is pointless. You can get a MUCH bigger R.O.I on sorrow and despair. I've been hording Despair Infused Gems for quite awhile, they make for great currency on the ethereal planes, especially if you have make a deal or two with an Extradimensional Entity of Evil, you know, an EEE...

In fact, now has never been a better time to invest in Despair Gems...send your blood ravens to The Crooked Spire upon Mistmire, and 5 o.z of dread dust, and I'll cut you a deal.

those are more 'guidelines'. If you're telling me I CAN'T draw upon the Dark Magicks from 28th Liminal Plane of The Elder Archetypon of Sorrow you might as well turn in your Evil Wizard Mantle. Everyone knows it's an Evil Wizard's job is to break the boundaries of ethereal law, sure... a few of our colleagues might accidentally unleash devastating horror, or get devoured by books... but we can't just keep relying on skeleton armies. You gotta think outside the scrying orb, man. Smoke some nightgrass, have a bit of moonwine, and disentwine the fabric of fate. That's why we all got in this business in the first place.

There's nothing wrong with skeletons, heck, I have skeletons manning most of my castle at the moment...

Hey guys I have a real problem. I used to be a death wizard who was prolonging his life through the use of a necromantic amulet, but just yesterday I accidentally mixed dragon's blood with ooze acid and well I've just darn near melted my whole body off. Does this mean I'm a lich now? I've always considered "boning up" but now I seriously have to face the consequences of this action and I'm worried that my A.D.W.A membership might be revoked. Any advice for what to do after an accidental lichification?
