DESCRIPTION

The Tome of Lycanthrope Control is a thick tome that has been passed down for over 2000 years. It is magically preserved and does not decay or take damage from the elements.

Bound in the leather of a human werewolf’s skin and stamped with the symbol of Kraxexekar (a long forgotten powerful necromancer), the tome is only usable by Devils & Demons or their kin. In very rare cases high level necromancers of other races have been able to read the book, but only with powerful protection spells placed upon them.

After reading this tome from cover to cover, the reader is able to use forbidden spells and alchemy recipes to craft fetish dolls, bind them to a cursed were-beast while in beast form, and force them into a life of servitude. The dolls also allow the user to see the world through their eyes but only while the user holds one of the dolls.

The horrific rituals involved in the tome may only be performed by a devil or demon of evil alignment and must be undertaken for many weeks in a row.

It is written in the Infernal Tongue, and in an unfamiliar script.
