An imposing figure in black raiment, he is most often rendered as a corpse. His other magical domains, les discused in esoteric literature, include disruption,obscenity and - importantly for the practicing sorcerer - not only the arts of Magic but the very fabric of which it is made. [...] As spirit and book the Baron Citadel presents the methodology for establishing a sorcerous discourse between the physical and metaphysical. Unique in its endeavor the grimoire not only orientates the reader by inculcating a sorcerous pedagogic philosophy, but also makes available for the very first time the ritual procedures for keping the Way open." -Jacket.
