The Necromancy of Thay

Personality:   The tome remained locked but had no notable keyhole. Rather it was opened by inserting a unique dark amethyst into the mouth of the cover's face. It could not be destroyed by mundane or even enchanted weapons, but rather had to be ignited by radiant energy. Its binding are Pieces of bone and its cover material is Flesh, metal, bone, and two amethyst eyes. Anyone who dared to read the book felt immediate changed, granted an overwhelming surge of power and capability. The glyphs within contained some manner of intelligence that attempted to communicate with the reader. As the reader continue to flip through its pages, they became wholly focused only the contents within The Necromancy of Thay. Shadowy claws reached into their psyche, trying to pull to some unknown place. The reader would see "time rewritten" and "fate undone" as arcane runes were inscribed within their very mind. If they completed a full reading of Necromancy, an individual was granted the ability to speak with dead once per day. Anyone who was resilient enough to complete the reading, but still initiated one, had their mind overwhelmed with profane knowledge and became more susceptible to attacks upon their psyche.
