Its secretive beginnings are lost to the ages and those who know it are not generous with their knowledge with good reason. Not many would be acceptant of them. The art itself is mysterious and those who have yet to witness it may claim it to be a farce or myth to scare children into behaving. What little is known about this forbidden circle of magic is that it involves death and those who have already passed on.
Any who attempt this art will be slowly driven into madness without the proper blessing and self-discipline. The mortal shell is not meant to embody magic that is against the purpose of life, living. Some cannot even attempt it lest the magic within them shun the dark magics of death causing the person's demise. In truth, it would be a dark heart who would even venture this. To be certain, it is a powerful magic should it exist and though it is not without its price.
