Most of the book is completely alien and way past your skill level, but you manage to figure out one useful excerpt from the book:
Fleshcrafting has been a staple past time for necromancers with far too much useless meat to use. Some prominent necromancers have been able to create entire towers completely composed of flesh, blood, and bone with their potent crafting skills. Though it is a lowbrow skill, it is one that is quite useful in the hands of a prominent magic wielder. As the basic principles of magic state, inert flesh by itself holds no life and, therefore, very scant amounts of magical essence. However, by imbuing flesh with magical essence from yourself, the flesh becomes malleable, workable, and shapeable. With the right amount of concentration and effort, this flesh can be weaved into almost any mundane object. As the flesh is imbued with magical essence, it is, in a primal form, a living, soul bearing thing. Though, the flesh will not do anything more than quiver or jiggle. It has been noted by necromantic scholars that the flesh forms do tend to attract spirits and demons if concentrated enough.
You feel as if you could learn more from this book if you became better at necromancy.

Nekrobold: examine stuff on table
You see lying on the table a human heart, a pair of tongs, a pokey thing, a ritual blade, a banana, and The Boot.
Combine ball of frustration with itself, then combine that spell with itself, then repeat until the spell's mana cost reaches the maximum amount of mana you can have currently, then (without casting it) find out how mad it will make people. Is it a curse of eternal frustration?
You have learned a new spell:
Nothing!Wow what a waste of time!
Combining a spell with itself causes deconstructive interference, not constructive interference!
