This story is a sequel to Memento Mori
Twilight learned a valuable lesson, long ago. Memento Mori: you too, will die. It was a bitter pill, but she accepted it and her boundless curiosity about the darkest of lores was for a while sated. But when she discovers a curious volume in the bottom of Ponyville library, hidden in the most unsuspecting of places (for after all, who would look in such a sleepy town?) she begins to feel a pull that she is not sure she wishes to resist.
(A sequel of sorts to Momento Mori, featured on EQD.)
Chapters (3)
This bodes poorly.
Oh god... Curses twilight, why can't you flipping burn the evil book!!
/remembers reading MM

*Sees necromancer in the tittle* Ohhhhh~ my favorite type of character to play in D&D. This should be good...

That or it bodes fantastically. It really depends on which point of view one takes, and I like to stay positive.
Yes Twilight, Summon the dark gods from shattered ebon in the red veil of horror! raise, take, summon and destroy at will! All will be madness and terror! Trust your old uncle Eldy, you won't regret it. Hehehehehehe.
I am probably a bad role model...

Keep it coming. I'd post a long, thought-out comment comparing/contrasting this story with Memento Mori as well as my analysis of this Twiight the beautiful black book...
But I'm tired. Sorry. I'll just post a long-ass comment on the last chapter of the story and do it all my analysis at once.
Assuming that you welcome criticism (which I think you do),
My one criticism (for now) is that it sounds too much like you. Both narrators so far utilize a great deal of your personal colloquialisms and manners of speech, and it reads almost like one of your blogs.
To name a specific aspect -- the rhetorical questions and frequent second-guessing. Based on our frequent conversations, I can't help but read this and think that it's just so you. ...Which would be fine, if it was only one character. It works for Twilight. But it would be my suggestion that you make the first narrator, Silver Corner, more blatantly unique relative to Twilight.
And on the off chance that I'm wrong and this isn't open to criticism... uhm... uhm... *points* LOOK, A DISTRACTION! If you write more I'll probably read it and like it but if you don't that's okay too.
3841441 That is actually a good critic and I'd be inclined to agree, honestly.
Clever use of the Author's Notes.

Watch as some other pony takes hostile actions towards Equestria, and her basic knowledge of blood magic enables her to turn aside the blow...
In MM Twilight rose to power, but forewarned of her defeat should she do so, she might just take a defensive position instead.
Watch as she masters all forms of magic, and ascends, breaking the ninth rule... (was it nine rules? Pretty sure it was.)
I really like this. Do you plan to continue?

Ho jeez. Twilight's spiral into madness begins.
