This heavy tome is bound in overlapping fragments of thickly wrinkled hide. The wrinkles seem to writhe across the surface in a tortuous maze, glistening a bright crimson colour like new blood. The valleys of the wrinkles are stained dark, as are most of the pages of the tome. Upon closer inspection, it appears that most of the pages are clotted together. Only a few pages toward the center of the tome and one at the end are still readable. If you wish, you may read the FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, or LAST of these remaining pages.


FIRST

And the blood of the First of the Children of Clay, those who have fallen, and for whom no rising cometh, will stain the scrivener's hand.

  Thus may the martial lords of the City of Dream and Void be called 
  unto thee, pacted and bound by tools of war
  Thus may the Sage Infernal be summoned forth from the Library Which 
  Endeth Not, by that which the Hexagon guardeth
  And only thus may the Hunger Beyond Hunger be bound unto thee, drawn 
  from the Labyrinth and glutted on the entrails of man or beast

SECOND

And the blood of the Angelic Hosts, Lords of the Celestial Spheres, those who see not, and whose blindness bringeth our ruin, shall be thine ink.

  Thus may the Daughters of Pain be called unto thee, and pacted and 
  bound by thine own life.
  Thus may the Hunter be called into thy favour, summoned by the 
  Eye of his father, and bound by blades of might and renown.
  And only thus may the Lords of Many Slaves be made slaves in turn, 
  though thou shalt wieldeth the whip not in thy mastery! but instead 
  bind thy slave with its gifting, just as he bindeth thine.

THIRD

And the blood of the Children of the Goddess, She who Bringeth the Light Unseeing, will wet thy blade, thine hands and thy stylus.

  Thus may spirits unclean wash away the stain of Her coming, summoned 
  from the Night Eternal by the secrets of the Lord of the Arcanum, 
  and pacted and bound by the mind's dead shell

FOURTH

And the blood which spilleth last, for its spilling begets ending, is thine own. It shall flow in accordance with thine will.

  Thus may the Simulcra of Dead Chaigia be called unto thee by the 
  Mark of She Who Dwelleth in the Unliving Depths
  Thus may the Worm Which Eateth Souls be called from womb of She 
  Who Stealeth Hearts, pacted and bound with the mind's dead shell
  And only thus may the Many-Eyed Acolytes of the Sage Infernal be
  called unto thee, to bargain the mysteries sublime for that which 
  is mundane and yet not mundane, the works of man woven with occult 
  force.

LAST

The last page of the tome is scrawled with a complex arcane script, interspersed thickly with diagrams. It is clearly the formula for casting a ritual of some sort, and might be invoked by reciting it in the usual way.

(note: obj is a scroll with lvl57 greater demon summon)
