The Sea of Life (book)

The Sea of Life is a work by the Scholar of the First Sin known only as Anthrax. Published in 1860, the book is considered the foundation of modern reverse-side exploration. It presented a body of evidence for the existence of the Echo, an endless ocean at the lowest levels of reality.

The book was written for non-specialist readers and attracted widespread interest amongst the magical community. As Anthrax was an eminent scientist, their findings were taken seriously, and the evidence presented generated intense debate amongst magic scientists. The debate over the book contributed to the campaigns of various magic scientists to secularize magic science by promoting magic naturalism.
