Thanks to AtomicChicken and janxious (as well as u/qeveren) I'm able to spawn in books with the secrets of life and death via DFHack (see below). My world has 5 slabs, so I'm assuming 5 strains of necromancy. Is there any way to specify which strain a book will impart? I'm assuming the function getSecretId(secret) section needs to change but I have no idea where to start. Thanks!

--edit the following as desired:

--book material:
local material = 'INORGANIC:SILVER'
--book title:
local title = 'The Necronomicon'
--secret conveyed by the book (must use the IS_NAME of the secret)
local secret = 'the secrets of life and death'
--changing the following to false will make the book be treated as a copy:
local artifact = true
