To those who would disrupt this world's balance:

The Cabal of Spinesreach is no more. The causes to which I have devoted my life now threaten our existence. In spreading my knowledge of the Numerological arts, I have unleashed the potential for something disastrous. I will no longer join in that march toward doom.

You may seek out my former pupils, should you wish. They are far too talented for their own safety. But do not come to me for help, should you hasten our end. Like the Immortal Number itself, my reminders of this warning will number until the world is snuffed.

Eocik.

Penned by my hand on Tisday, the 12th of Slyphian, in the year 463 MA.
