* The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
* This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
* If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
* If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
* After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds (400 seconds).
There are also some false rules, which I'm sure you heard of later in the season. Light made them up to fool the police into thinking he was not Kira. These are the 2 false rules:
* If the owner of the Death Note does not kill with the Death Note within 13 days of the last entry, he or she will die.
* If the Death Note is burned, destroyed, or otherwise damaged in any way, all those who have touched that Death Note will die.

The moon shines down on the staggered body falling throughout the streets of Osaka. When suddenly orbs of fire and light shriek throughout the huts aligned throughout the area. The silence of night has erupted into a mass of confusion and horror. People screaming and running aflaymed...A blakk cloud rains down on the scene as the sound of swords unsheathing echo over the sounds of death. The grim nature of murder and pain have engulfed the town.
