The Black Arts On Trial is an essay by Hannibal Traven, Archmagister of the Mages Guild in Oblivion’s time. It traces the long history of bans on necromancy, from the Psijic Order to Vanus Galerion, and defends the Guild’s choice to keep it forbidden – with a warning about necromancers trying to infiltrate the Guild.
