Notes on the Shadow Ritual

[The journal is battered and damaged, but you can clearly make out two full passages and a recipe of some kind.]
The light wanes, and Shadow rises in its wake. Ruari shall be sacked with the rest of the mesa villages once the Nords reach the Highlands, and the essence of its anguish at the moment of its destruction will charge my Penumbra as never before. The Umbra'Keth awaits, and neither the Pretender nor Azra's shades will stop me from feeding it. Time is of the essence, if I am to reach Ruari and return to Lakvan's stronghold before the Nords arrive.

[Below the first entry, there is a hastily-scrawled recipe titled "Admixture".]
- Quicksilver, melted
- Spider silk
- Void salts
- Shadowfly stalks, smashed

There are other worlds than these. They spiral away from mine in endless shadow-reflections, carving vast fractal strokes into the Void. Where the fool Azra saw only rote transcription, I see the Truth of Shadow. The choice of the mortal on a single one of these strands matters not a whit, but the choice of the mortal on all of them at once can shake the very foundations of existence.
I choose to make the only choice that matters. The only choice that can ever matter. To cut through the veil-cloth that separates Here from There and Then from Now and declare that there is no difference. I shall claw back the power of reality from the ruinous light, and with the Umbra'Keth at my side I shall do what even Azra never dreamed possible.

Many worlds shall become one.
