This item came to me in a vision, I was watching 'Evil Dead 3 Army of Darkness' for those who havent seen the movie go watch it, anyway the film is about an army of skeletons who invade a world on another plane, the main character is called Ash and he accidently summons them via The Necromanicon. Anyhoo heres a breif history of it and the actual item.

Breif History:
The 'Necronomicon', (Masks or Names of the Dead), was written by the infamous Abdul Al Azred. He lived in 730 A.D. in Jemen. After a long journey to the ruins of Babylon and to the secret temple at Memphis he began to worship dark gods like 'Cthullu' and Yoxodo' and to practice black magic. It is alleged that for ten years he lived in Belet el Jin, the forbidden City of Devils. In the 'Necronomicon' Al Azred named it the City of the Damned. There he celebrated his rituals, made contact with evil spirits and discovered dark, horrible secrets of an ancient race, older then mankind itself.

In 738, Abdul Al Azred died a horrifying death. Eye-witnesses reported that on a hellish day in the center of Sannah he was torn apart by invisible claws.

Item:
The Necromanicon

This book you are now holding is the fabled book of the dead 'The Necromanicon' The rituals, incantations, formulae, of this work are of ancient origin, comprising some of the oldest written magickal workings in Western occult history. The deities and demons identified within probably have not been effectivly summoned in nearly six thousand years. As you turn the pages you come across a paragraph that sticks out at you.

" In time I learned of the names and properties of all the demons,
devils, fiends and monsters listed herein, in this Book of the Black Earth. I
learned of the powers in the astral Gods, and how to summon thier aid in times
of need. I learned, too, of the frightful beings who dwell beyond the astral
spirits, who guard the entrance to the Temple of the Lost, of the Ancient Days
the Ancient of the Ancient Ones, whose Name I connot write here."

Abilities:
Able to cast all Necromatic and Monster Summoning spells at will

Increases Spell casting speed by 5

Adds 100 To Lore

Usable To:
Evil Mages (single, duel, multi)
17 Intelligence and 15 Wisdom

Well thats it, I know it way too overpowering, I was hoping some people would give their views on this.
