SPELLBOOKS

Description

Spells are scribed in spellbooks, directly out of your skill list. Scrolls are not necessary to scribe- just knowledge of the skill, and presence in a library, are sufficient. Certains rooms are flagged as Libraries, in which Adventurers may change which spellbook they're wearing, as well as scribe spells into spellbooks. Erasing spells from a spellbook may be done anywhere, but all spells must fit into the spellbook's pages and complexity.

Spellbooks are worn in their own dedicated slot, and are worn one at a time. Spells must fit at least one of the following criteria to be cast:

• druid magic (nature spells doesn't require spellbooks) - psionic magic (mental spells don't require spellbooks) - a spell possessed or granted at >1%, and scribed into an equipped spellbook - a spell granted at 100% by an affect or item - a spell granted by research notes

Spellbooks have a low base capacity, but the amount of spells available at any one time is significantly increasible by making use of the spellbook-capacity stat:

Spellbooks up to category 8 have a base size of 10. Category 9 spellbooks have a base size of 11. Category 10 spellbooks have a base size of 12. An amulet of spell simplicity provides +8. Saresyn's amulet of remembrance provides +4. Lion Shield's 100qp pendant symbolizing penmanship provides +16. Bards' Epiphany provides +2. Wizards' Memory Palace provides +2. The relic "a guru's notes for study" provides +2. The relic "a master neuromancer's marginalia" provides +4.
