Magical Tombs & Sacred Texts


phydaux

Recommended Posts

I need a little input from the group.

 

I'm starting a campaign that will revolve around books of magical theory.  Some will be of the hermetic tradition, your traditional magical tomb.  Others will be of the clerical tradition, so more of a sacred text.

 

Each type will have several "levels" of text - Basic, Intermedial, advanced, and forbidden.

 

I'm looking to crowd source a list of names of books.  Can you guys come up with some?
