It's part of my job -- when I complete a Magical Girl [[MagicallyBindingContract contract]], I removed your souls and changed them into Soul Gems."''

4	->''"The cultists are the most autonomous and industrious of the undead. They spent their lives practicing [[TheDarkArts black arts]] and bowing to all manner of atrocity. Centuries of sleep has apparently done nothing to eliminate old habits.\
5	Former primordial priests, banished magi, worshippers who sacrificed and were sacrificed. Who knows what else?\
6	Something in that black soil nurtured their mystical talents, [[CameBackStrong and inspired them to rise rejuvenated]]."''

18	->''As a man follows the dark path of the {{Necromancer}}, he becomes ever more detached from his mortal roots. Morbidly questing after the secrets of death, a Necromancer can come to resemble the shuddering creations of his magic. Those wizards deeply steeped in the art of Necromancy stand betwixt the living and the dead, neither wholly alive nor one of the Undead. His body twisted with unholy power, [[SanitySlippage his mind seared by the horrors he has witnessed]], a Necromancer has more in common with the Undead than the living.''

21	->''A lich is the physical embodiment of black magic's first goal: the quest to achieve immortality. Though a great deal is sacrificed in the rebirth, in becoming a lich one cheats death of that which truly gives it terror. For it is the mind that is retained, and the spirit which follows, though the body may wither away.\
22	It is not known, save perhaps by the inner circles of necromancy, whether life is prolonged indefinitely or simply extended. But the fact that this question can be raised at all, testifies to the magnitude of what their order has achieved.''

25	->''In Dreadrock Dungeon's darkest lair\
26	Resides a King once bright and fair,\
27	Alone upon his throne of stone,\
28	A crown upon his skull of bone.\
29	\
30	His mortal soul he stowed away,\
31	To hide it from the light of day.\
32	He bound it to a golden ring\
33	And thus became the Undead King.\
34	\
35	The Undead King you shall not face\
36	Unless you know the unknown place.\
37	Where hidden deep his relic lies,\
38	For while it lasts, he never dies.\
39	\
40	So don't you pass the dead King's gate\
41	Where countless heroes met their fate.\
42	And dare not seek the Dead King's throne\
43	In Dreadrock Mountain's tombs of stone.''
