Dark Magic
The following Lores all require use of the Dark Magic Discipline merely to cast. As such, they cannot benefit from
Dark Magic's benefit to casting Unfettered spells, but they do still all require an extra Chaos Die included in the total
whenever they are cast.
Both the Lore of Necromancy and the Lore of Nagash deal with the undead. The Lore of Necromancy is typically
known by mortal necromancers and those who learn from plundered tomes, whereas the Lore of Nagash is typically
known by vampires, liches, mummies, and those mortal servants they deign to teach the secrets of undeath.
A mishap on two dice or more when casting a spell from the Lore of Nagash or the Lore of Necromancy produces a side
effect in addition to the normal mishap. See WFRP Page 159, or The Dark Path page 7.
Lore of Chaos
Lore of Misfortune
Lore of Nagash
"In that dread desert, beneath the moons pale gaze, dead
men walk. They haunt the shifting dunes of the breathless,
windless night, brandish weapons of bronze in mocking
challenge and bitter resentment of the life they no longer
possess. And sometimes, in ghastly dry voices, like the
rustling of sun-baked reeds, they whisper the one word
they remember from life. The Name of the one who cursed
them to their existence, more than death but less than life.
They whisper the name, Nagash."
From the Nehekharan Book of the Dead, translated by
Mannfred von Carstein
The Lore of Nagash is ill-suited for the living. If any living
wizard casts a spell from this Lore, they automatically take
damage equal to the spell's Level.
