“I have been called a madman and my findings dismissed as absurd. I have been painted as a deranged doom-monger. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Through a lifetime of study, coupled with rigorous and death-defying training, I have honed the ability to detect even the most well-concealed evil. This work concerns a threat which, if left unchecked, could spell the end of all that is good in our world. I am referring to magic and its practitioners, the so-called mages.”

— Preface to The True Nature of Evil by Brother Dideric Orne, Keepers of the Immaculate Flame

The Book of Magic for the award-winning Dragonbane RPG offers players and Gamemasters alike a deep dive into the nature of magic. It introduces no fewer than nine new schools of magic: Demonology, Harmonism, Illusionism, Necromancy, Symbolism, Witchcraft, Alchemy, Enchanting, and Dracomancy. It also adds new spells for the existing schools of General Magic, Animism, Elementalism, and Mentalism.

In total, this book contains more than 300 spells, magical recipes, enchantments, and magic tricks. Each magic school is further detailed with information about its practitioners, its standing and reputation in the world, and the type of familiar its members typically summon. You will also learn where and how your characters can receive training in each school.
