This is a new series of books for us, taking the very best from the three year old Encyclopaedia Arcane series, revising the rules, updating them to 3.5 and adding a few new bits of our own! This Compendium is a 256 page hardback, making it a durable resource for any arcane spellcaster looking to delve into the deeper arts. Four separate disciplines are covered within - Demonology, Necromancy, Battle Magic and the all new Transmutation! Each has been newly laid out, and updated with not only the 3.5 version of rules, but also from the suggestions and comments made by fans over the past three years. Battle Magic, for example, no longer requires you to erase all the spells you have worked hard to compile in the past - you can now move straight into the discipline to become a true Battle Mage! Demonology takes your mage along the road of summoning fiends from other planes, bound to do your bidding but intent on taking your soul. Can you tread the line that separates power from disaster? Necromancy opens up the world of the dead and, possibly, the path to eternal life. No longer will you be without a manservant as all the powers of the afterlife will be yours to command. Battle Magic is perhaps the ultimate destructive combat power. With this discipline you will sweep whole battlefields away with your spells and alter the destiny of kingdoms. Transmutation is a brand new, never before seen Encyclopaedia focusing on the fascinating world of magical alteration.
