Spell Caster's Bible

As written in the original Spellcaster’s Bible as published in 1979….

Over 300 years ago, in the land of Gardon, there lived a mage of evil descent. He lived in a citadel whose location remains a mystery to this day, the subject of many quests. The evil wizard’s name was Parlan Blackstone and, ironically, he himself died delivering the soul of a fellow mage from the grasp of great evil, Lucifer himself. Parlan left behind a spell book known as Parlan’s Bible. Through the years, the name of this high-magic manual has been changed to The Spellcaster’s Bible.

This ancient tome of knowledge had been passed from hand to hand among high-level mages for years, when it finally came to rest in the hands of a wizard known as The Terrestrial Warlock. He felt that a book such as this should be at the disposal of all mages, so that they could use its knowledge for the benefit of their own individual causes.  The Spellcaster’s Bible is meant only for the eyes of pure mages…that is, not for Fighter-Mages or Elves or any other mixed class of character. It is a rumor, and a true one, that any being looking on the contents of this sacred spellbook who is not a pure mage is immediately blinded and, within 24 hours, rendered permanently insane. There is no saving throw for either effect.

The first page of this book was said to be a list of all the wizards and mages of notable power who have ever used the spells contained within the text. The mages all signed in blood and once their name was written down, it could never be removed (wishes NOT withstanding).

Below is the list of mages as it stands at present.
