Under Construction! Some (or all) of the information on this page was started by a (well meaning) fanatical cultist, but was never completed, and appears to have been abandoned. Please help complete it if you are able! See this YSDC Forum discussion for details on how you can help: (link) Problem logged on: 14:56, 15 August 2022 (UTC) The specific problem is: This article is a stub.

Reflections of Ibn Schacabao (AKA "Reflections", "Reflections of Ibn Shacabao", etc.) is statted out in the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Rulebook, and originates in an unknown source (probably Call of Cthulhu (RPG), from referenced by H.P. Lovecraft to Ibn Schacabao in "The Festival (fiction)").
Description
The nethermost caverns are not for the fathoming of eyes that see; for their marvels are strange and terrific. Cursed the ground where dead thoughts live new and oddly bodied, and evil the mind that is held by no head. Wisely did Ibn Schacabao say, that happy the town at night whose wizards are all ashes. For it is of old rumor that the soul of the devil-bought hastes not from his charnel clay, but fats and instructs the very worm that gnaws; till out of corruption horrid life springs, and the dull scavengers of earth wax crafty to vex it and swell monstrous to plague it. Great holes secretly are digged where earth’s pores ought to suffice, and things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl.
—H.P. Lovecraft, "The Festival (fiction)", quoting the Necronomicon quoting Ibn Schacabao....
Said to contain conversations with the "Jinn"; provides some source material for the Necronomicon and other related tomes.
