An Exploration of Long-Lived Wizards
from the work of Lovecraft

The works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft contain several stories about old wizards who deal in forbidden knowledge and whom seek to either extend their lifespan, to regain their youth or obtain knowledge and skills to cheat death. Some also seek to increase their knowledge by bringing back others from the dead and forcing them to answer questions.

Traditionally this form of magic is referred to as necromancy and the Call of Cthulhu rules book and Dark Ages both contain spells that deal directly with this subject. This work provides examples and revelations of these wizards in the works of Lovecraft.

MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION monographs are longer works by one or more authors on a subject of import to Call of Cthulhu roleplayers. On these products the author has also fulfilled the functions of editor and layout artist; we at Chaosium have done little in the way of editorial. We found these works compelling and thought that you would enjoy them. Monographs are digitally reproduced publications. We do provide a cover illustration. Through the publication of monographs we can offer our most loyal fans more information more easily, and evaluate the potential of these works for eventual release to the wholesale market.
