Skalech's Apocryphonium
A downloadable game
Skalech's Apocryphonium is a fan-supplement by Elliott Freeman for His Majesty the Worm, created as part of the 2024 Worm Jam. It contains a bevy of new spells from three schools of esoteric magic:
- the winter-wizardry of the Wassail,
- the bloody blessings of the Wort, and
- the inadvisable ingenuities of the Wright.
It also includes a pair of prestige paths for adventurers who aren't afraid to get irredeemably weird in exchange for a little extra magical oomph: the Planar Devotee and the Gourmand Étrange.
While these spells and secrets are crafted with love, they're also very much unplaytested. They're wonky and almost certainly broken, but I hope there's something in them that sparks an interest in you... and there are plans to revisit this in the future, once more testing has been completed.

This supplement introduces three new schools of magic, and each are incredibly tightly written and well balanced with the rest of the game. The idea of prestige paths for adventurers is also a really good idea for a game where questing and exploration changes your character. I’d endorse this wholeheartedly as house rules for any His Majesty the Worm game.
