Description:
Throughout the existence of magic, mages have resorted to collecting and archiving their magical findings throughout the ages in various records. The Tome of Corruption was a grimoire commissioned by the Magic Council to document and index any discoveries of black magic and dark curses created throughout history. The Author of this Grimoire managed to gather hundreds of spells and curses created by various mages over time, however, after a while, he began to notice something strange. The book itself began to radiate its own dark power, and with each new entry, its own curse would manifest, growing stronger. The book itself began to curse those the Author came into contact with, and it was this that caused the Author to decide that this book could no longer exist. Instead of returning it to the Magic Council, he attempted to destroy it. However, no matter what he tried, the book would return to him, reappearing seemingly untouched. In an act of desperation, the Author even sank to the level of using a dark curse to attempt to send the book into the void where it could no longer bring harm to anyone.
Unfortunately for the Author, this would backfire tragically as the book would reverse the spell onto him. Opening up a giant portal of dark energy in its centre, it would absorb the Author into its pages, extinguishing his existence and taking his life force for its own. It was after this event that the book went missing, lost through time only to be rediscovered recently and falling into the hands of a new owner. Whenever the owner of this book comes into contact with new dark magic, they are compelled to write it into its pages, adding to its mass collection of dark archives.
Abilities:
Plot Ability: Pages of Void
The owner of the book may open up the same dark vortex that swallowed its original Author. A giant black hole opens up on the cover, swirling ferociously and emanating a dark black smoke. This spells sucks in everything that is living, cursing it into the void, anything pulled in will have its life force drained into the pages, fueling the book's power.

Description:
The owner opens the pages of the book to one of its most malignant spells, releasing into the area a spell titled 'Unforgiving Darkness'. The entire of the area around the user will turn completely black, so black that it's near impossible to see anything unless you are the owner of the book, who is unaffected by the magic. Anyone cloaked in this darkness will be trapped by its power of dark magic, immobilized once every other post for as long as they remain in the ability's range, provided the ability hits them before every immobilization. Additionally, any targets trapped in this spell will receive User Rank Advanced Burst Damage and have their speed debuffed by 115% for the spell's duration. If the spell comes it into contact with shields, armors, or barriers, it will pierce through, albeit at the cost of 50% of its base damage. On top of this, if a spell has been cast within its range, the darkness can eradicate one spell per post, granted that the user pays the equivalent mana for the spells negation. Furthermore, the spell negated must be of the ability's rank or lower.

These vicious orbs target either a single target up to user rank amount or target numerous targets up to the user rank amount. If they hit, they will then trap them in a swirling globe of treacherous darkness, that will drain them of 5% of their MP and immobilize them for a single turn. These orbs also carry the homing effect, chasing the targets even if they flee up to the spell's maximum range.
