This black unassuming notebook is one of the most powerful artefacts in existance. By simply writing the name of a creature into its pages, that creature will drop dead. This item can only be obtained through Shinigami, Gods of Death. While it can be torn, its magical properties live on through the pieces. The only way to completely destroy it is by reducing it to pieces so small it cannot be written on. Once a creature uses the Death Note, it is haunted by the Shinigami that once owned it. This item cannot be attuned to in the normal sense. See the rules on pages 3 and 4 for more details. Writing in this book takes an action.

The creature whose name is written in this Note shall die.

Possesive Senses. The Shinigami always knows the location of every Death Note in the plane of existance it's currently in, as well as the identity, name and location of the owner of its own Death Note.

Phase through Matter. The Shinigami can phase through material at will, and takes 1D6 + 5 force damage if it ends its turn in a object or wall.

Inconcievable. The Shinigami is invisble and silent to creatures who haven't touched one of their Death Notes. True Sight can see through this ability.

Shinigami Eyes. The Shinigami can see the name of any creature as long as the Shinigami can see the creatures face.

Death Note. In the Shinigami's possesion is a Death Note, which the Shinigami can spend an action to write a name in. The standard Death Note rules apply.

Rules of the Death Note

Entering Names

The creature whose name is written in this Note shall die. This Note will not take effect unless the writer has the creature's face in mind when writing its name. This is to prevent creaures that share the same name from being affected.

When the same name is written in two or more Death Notes, the Note which was used first will take effect, regardless of the time of death.

If the same name is written in two or more Death Notes within 0.06 seconds, the entry is regarded as simultaneous; the Death Notes will not take effect and the creature will not die.

If a Death Note owner accidentally misspells a creature's name four times, that creature will be free from being killed by the Death Note. However, if the Death Note owner intentionally misspells the name four times, the owner will die.

If a named creature does not have a heart, they are immune to the Death Note if the default death is used.

The Death Note cannot be used on a creature with no name or face

Entering the Causes and Conditions of Death

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of the creature's name, it will happen.

If the cause of death is not specified, the creature will die of a heart attack.

After writing the cause of death, the details of death should be entered within the next six minutes and 40 seconds.

The conditions of death will not be realized unless they are physically possible for that creature or could be reasonably assumed to be carried out by that creature.

You may write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the creature. Be sure to insert the name in front of the cause of death. You have 19 days to fill in a name.

Suicide is a universally valid cause of death as all creatures are thought to possess the potential to commit suicide. It is, therefore, something that may be reasonably assumed of an creature.

If you write "dies of accident" for the cause of death, the creature will die from a natural accident six minutes and 40 seconds after the time of entry.

If you write "die from disease" and specify which disease and the time of death, there must be a sufficient amount of time for the disease to progress. If the set time is too tight, the creature will die of a heart attack six minutes and 40 seconds after the entry in the Death Note.

If you write, "dies from disease" as the cause of death but specify only a time of death and not the actual disease, the creature will die from a plausible disease.

If the cause and conditions of death are written in before the creature's name is, multiple names can be written as long as they are entered within 40 seconds and the cause and conditions of death are not impossible. In the event that the cause of death is possible but the conditions are not, only the cause of death will take effect for that creature. If both the cause and the conditions are impossible, that creature will die of a heart attack.

When you write multiple names in the Death Note and then write down one cause of death within 40 seconds of writing the first creature's name, the cause will take effect for all the written names. Also, after writing the cause of death, even if the conditions of death are written within six minutes and 40 seconds, the conditions will apply only to the creatures for whom they are possible. Those for whom the conditions are not possible will simple die from the specified cause.

Once the creature's name, cause of death, and conditions of death have been written down in the Death Note, the death will take place even if that Death Note, or the part of the Note used, is destroyed before the stated time of death.

Other Things to Consider

One page taken from the Death Note, or even a fragment of the page, possesses the full power of the note.

Any writing instrument or medium (cosmetics, blood, etc.) may be used, as long as it can write directly onto the note and create legible text.

The pages of the Death Note will never run out.

The Beginning of Ownership

The owner of a Death Note can recognize the image and voice of the original owner - a Shinigami, for example.

The creature that touches the Death Note can recognize the image and voice of its Shinigami owner, even if the creature is not the owner of the Note.

Whenever a Shinigami in the human world dies and leaves behind its Death Note, the Note's finder automatically becomes the owner. However, in this case, only a creature who can see and hear that Shinigami is able to see and touch the Death Note. It is very unlikely, but if by any chance another Shinigami picks up the Death Note, that Shinigami becomes the owner.

If you lose the Death Note or have it stolen, you will lose its ownership unless you can retrieve it within 490 days.

When the owner of the Death Note dies while the note is on loan, its ownership will be transferred to the person who is holding it at that time. If the Death Note is stolen and the owner is killed by the thief, its ownership will automatically be transferred to the thief.
