The human that has his name written in the notebook will die.
The writer of the name must have the face of the person in his mind while writing the name. This will prevent those sharing the same name from dieing.
If the cause of death is written in the notebook in the first 40 seconds, the events listed will take place.
If no specific cause of death is listed, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
When writing a cause of death, the details of the death should be listed within 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
If the owner of the Death Note does not kill anyone within 13 days of the last death, the owner will die. If the notebook is damaged or destroyed in anyway, all of those who have come in contact with the notebook will die.
