It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Yes, some of them fall to the old powers, hoarding magic within themselves, corrupting their forms - turning them into Hags - but most exist to quietly explore the Wonders of the world, travelling across planes, and planets and oceans to visit the ancient places, where lingering powers older than comprehension yet dwell. As a collective, they don’t serve some eternal evil, and they rarely use sacrifices in rituals. They sometimes draw their power from ancient spirits, but they also draw it from nature, from artefacts and sigils. They fly at night, but only seldom on brooms. They are not all women, and male Witches are not called Warlocks. They do not melt when doused in water, and most are not green. These, for the greater part, are more often than not flights of fancy - which like most whispered tales of old, retain the shades of an obfuscated truth. Claims of its amoral practitioners dancing round a bound sacrifice under the moonlight. T he history of the Witch is one maligned with claims of dark pacts made with even darker spirits. NOW REVISED - With more subclasses and greater balance.
