From the Back Cover "Encyclopaedia Arcane Compendium: Volume I brings together four great Encyclopaedia Arcane titles together for the first time. Demonology, Necromancy, Battle Magic and the all-new Transmutation. Demonology: Taking your mage along the path of summoning beasts from other planes, sworn to do your bidding but intent on taking your soul. Can you skate the line that separates power from disaster? Necromancy: Opening up the world of the dead. No longer will you be without a manservant! All the powers of the afterlife will be yours to command. Battle Magic: Perhaps the ultimate in destructive combat power. Sweep whole battlefields away with your arcane spells and alter the destiny of kingdoms, if you dare. Transmutation: Brand new, never before seen Encyclopaedia Arcane: Transmutation, focuses on the fascinating world of magical alteration. Fully 3.5 compatible, this may be your last opportunity to get hold of these hard-to-find releases, all of which have been thoroughly revised and updated."
