Following the publication of Clavícula Nosferatu, Phyrexia returns with Ars Necromantia, a grimorium consecrated to the black arts of the dead. This work gathers and reinterprets the contents of O Manual do Necromante Vol. I and II (originally released in Portuguese), now presented as a unified system of necromantic practice.
This is not a book written from the comfortable distance of a library, nor by an armchair magician. Ars Necromantia is born from direct work with cemeteries, graves, bones, forests, and spirit. It is written by a true practitioner, one who comes from a land where necromancy is living flesh: Brazil, a place where the dead walk close to the living and where magic is not theory, but survival.
This grimorium is a raw and unfiltered radiography of the dark path: that which many call upon, yet only a few dare to perform.
Limited to 100 numbered copies.
