Spells of Shyish
From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
The Spells of Shyish refers to the Realmsphere Magic emanating from within the Realm of Shyish, the realm of death. As the case with other realms, this magic is known to become especially potent as one treads closer to the Realm's Edge of Shyish.[1a] It was in Shyish that the great cataclysm of the Necroquake began, resulting in its air becoming heavy with the stuff of death. Those with the arcane wherewithal to manipulate the amethyst magic about them did so with terrifying creativity, whether for noble aims of nefarious ends.[1b]
