Description: One of the few great practitioners of magic from the Sukalar region, many say it was a shame that Kalzeal chose the left handed path as the advancements to magic made during her lifetime. Kalzeal was always an opportunist, when she was rejected from the guild of esoteric lore because a high up member of the guild blocked her application due to her sex she was approached by a mysterious figure with whom she fell in love. It took over a year for her to realise her lover was a member of the left-handed path. She left him because of his deception but when confiding in a friend the story was let loose, the moorabs drove her and her ex-lover out into the desert where she was forced into a compromise and accepted her poor position. She became a member of the left-handed path in 156BU. Though her long career was cut short by serious illness many great works were written by her hand especially in the area of commanding the greater undead. Kalzeals spirit remains in her abandoned study as a spectre, coughing up phlegm regularly as she did when she died of a wasting disease. The first three volumes in her collection leave a lot to be desired, they contain all of the basic information on the necromancy mode of magic and of the command and summoning methods. Kalzeal was working on re-writing this volume and toying with the idea of producing a much simpler single volume when her illness struck, it is filled with hastily scribbled notes and amendments that are difficult to read. All of these volumes are written in the necromancer's mage tongue. This first weighty volume has 490 pages dedicated to the necromancy mode of magick (Level 7) The second 150 page volume is a tome on the command method of magick at level 5 The third tome is on the summoning method of magick at level 8 and having 400 pages. Volume four is a spell book containing the command spells of Awaken, lesser fright, greater fright, hold person, command person and fear. Volume five covers all necromantic spells and the following wards, circle of protection vs. undead, lesser ward vs. undead, lesser ward vs. supernatural, circle of binding, greater circle of binding. Volume six is Kalzeals personal diary. It is incomplete but contains many disturbing revelations about the undead as well as her personal life; from this book basic knowledge in lore of the dead can be learned.
