Opening the tome, I had to break a seal which looked as old as the book itself.
Did this mean that the book had never been opened before?
I hesitated for a short moment and gave the seal a closer look.
Like the book it seemed to be magic.
"Some primitive kind of protection spell or warning...", I muttered to myself.
But then I knew that this was not gonna stop me. I just couldn't resist
the opportunity to get Asgurauld's power, even if this was dangerous
... or evil.
So I broke the seal... sneering about the fact how easy I could do this,
until I realised that this seal had not been intended to protect the tome
from the outside, but to keep its inside encased.
