Walkthrough[edit | edit source]
The Necromancy of Thay is obtained during Search the Cellar within the apothecary's secret laboratory past the ornate mirror. Removing the book from its trapped rooms starts a quest to either unlock the Necromancy of Thay's secrets or destroy it forever.
Destroying the book is simple - drop it on the ground. Then, attack the book with divine spells, such as Guiding Bolt. Be forewarned that destroying the tome summons several shadow enemies.
