Historical Definition
Magoreum is a magical medicine or secret.
Meaning
The entry identifies a medicinal or secret preparation without giving its ingredients or procedure. The adjective magical must be read within the distinctions of the book, rather than automatically assigned the illicit meaning of necromancy.
Use in the Book
