if the cause of the death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
after writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

the human who uses this note can neither go to heaven nor hell.
if the time of the death is written within 40 seconds after wrting the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name.

the human who becomes the owner of the death note can, in
exchange of half his/her remaining life, get the eyeballs of the god of death which will enable him/her to see a human's name and remaining lifetime when looking through them.
