New Mystic Secrets Web Enhancement: Maledictions

Mike's magic sourcebook Mystic Secrets: The Lore of Word and Rune is now available in print from your local game store! To celebrate the release, he's given us a cool web enhancement this week in The Stuff. While Mystic Secrets offers a lot of information about beneficial ceremonies, this article discusses rituals of cursing, called maledictions, and offers a few samples. Find out more about Mystic Secrets in our sneak peek, art gallery, table of contents, press release, chat transcript, and hounds of annihilation web enhancement. Mike also discusses his work on the book in his Design Diary. I hope you check it out!
