OSR Magic Addendum- a full d100 table of Necromantic Cantrips For Wretched New Flesh & Other OSR games

 In the surreal, biomechanical horror setting of Wretched New Flesh (published by The Red Room / Wretchedverse), magic fuses dark fleshcraft, cybernetic decay, systemic body horror, and digital/organic corruption.



Here is a full d100 table of Necromantic Cantrips—minor, low-cost rituals and spell-tricks tailored to the Wretched New Flesh aesthetic, blending modern/cyberpunk body modification, occult rot, and flesh-tech manipulation.
