Notes on a certain crown named after its creator; used to unmake magic at its very arcane foundations.
| quote = This book is redolent with the enticing smell of paper and ink
| book text = [An ancient handwritten book, rebound at least twice, that purports to be notes written by the Ur-Mage Karsus himself. Much of it is in a personal wizard's cipher, but the final page is written in cleartext.]

My great spell of transcendence is mine alone, not to be committed to ink and parchment, but I have also forged three supreme enchanted items that are the physical embodiments of my wizardry, and of them I shall make record.

There is a Crown, an Orb, and a Sceptre, each night-alive and with its own power and purpose, and these I call the Regalia of Karsus.

The Crown of Karsus: to attract and absorb magical knowledge, and give the wearer dominion over himself so that he remains his own entity apart from the Weave.

The Orb of Karsus: a storage device or battery that condenses mystic power, ever-gathering so that it must be syphoned at intervals of its excess.

The Sceptre of Karsus: an instrument of projection, a focusing utensil for the precise wielding of unimaginably vast forces.

Know of these items you must, for if I fail to achieve immortality, they will persist, and I dare say, 'live' on beyond me.
