Angels & Ashes

ADD TO WISHLIST >

MAGIC AND POWER ALL AROUND US.

Esoteric powers summoned by arcane gestures, syllables, and symbols.  No technology looks so much like magic as the nanites of the Ninth World.  Those who know their secret ways wield arcane power, just as the wizards and will-workers of legend.

ANGELS & ASHES is an 87 page nanotechnology book for Numenera, presenting an arcane take on the unseen forces of the world.  It provides the following:

  • An alternate system for Cyphers, allowing any character to cast arcane spells from memory.  Included are 48 printable Arcane Cypher cards.
  • Ten areas of arcane study, each with divergent paths of magical understanding, providing 22 Foci for use by player characters.  Areas include traditional fantasy magics and extrapolations based on the technologies involved.  
  • A system for small magical effects, called Charms.  Provided are 100 Charms ready for play.
  • An arcane university based out of the metropolis of Qi.  The adversaries and mentors you need to create an arcane campaign in the Ninth World.
  • Four pieces of fiction by author Joseph DeSimone.
  • Adversaries associated with each area of magical study.
" Rather than wait for the conclusion, I have to start this review with: Go out and buy this book now.  It is that good.  Then follow along with this review."

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
