My Dear Ganeth,

This missive should find you poised on the edge of a struggle against the forces of Evil. My note brings you both spiritual comfort and a more tangible benefit.

The shade forces are being bolstered by the non-trivial aid of a human mage by the name of Kanugal Ashlord. Details are scanty since this mage frequenty inhabits the bodies of others (through use of magic jar). However by perusing my detailed notes, I have been able to formulate a possible spell-list for Kanugal Ashlord, as well as miscellaneous information of tactical importance.

1) Ashlord (level 10 Necromancer) 4/4/3/2/2
   1: chill touch, magic missilex2, shield, burning hands
   2: k's ashen choke, detect invis, 
   3: vamp touch, fly, fireball, fireball
   4: enervation, dim door, minor globe
   5: magic jar, cloudkill, cone of cold

   familiar: bat "Typhus" (possibly quasit) -> 25% MR etc

   scroll: wall of iron (used offensively)
	   teleport (get away)
   staff of withering (?)
   wand: ghoul paralysis
   Bigby bead(s)
   undead vision goggles
   circlet of the detachable eye (necro/div)
   black robe of skulls:
   - cloak of darkness 15' rad (at will?)
   - summon shadow (needs sacrifices?)
   expected precasts: stone skin, spirit armor

   Projected strategy: enervation is reserved for the enemy spellcaster
   Beware of paralysis followed by a crushing iron wall.
