** ''' the Ledger of Gyrn ''' - (magic item / spellbook)'' (1 lb.) <br />This book is impressively clear despite the bad illustrations due to extensive references. It doesn't take much effort to determine that it will prove useful. After a quick examination, one will find that the contents have a few areas of deep insight you hadn't considered. The worn but well made tome is of a small size: 10"x8" and 3" thick. It is extremely durable, waterproof, bound with iron overlaid with mithral and locked (amazing lock). <br> [similar to Boccobs Blessed Book]
*** '''Properties:''' A wizard can fill the 1,000 pages of this book with spells without paying the 25 vp per page material cost.
** ''' The Unabridged Hermetic Lexicon ''' - (magic item / spellbook)'' (7.3 lb.) <br>This book is hard to understand because of a lack of coherent planning. With time, intellect, or both, one can make sense of the book, and it will reveal it is extremely useful. Making it even more of a find, the contents provide an occasional insight or new idea. This work bestows upon any character the ability to use the spells within its pages. However, any character not already able to use spells gains one negative level for as long as the book is in his possession or while he uses its power. The book has 25 pages. Once a page is turned it can never be turned back - paging through is a one-way trip. If the book is closed, it always opens again to the page it was on before the book was closed.  When the last page is turned, the book vanishes.  Once per day the owner of the book can cast the spell to which the book is opened.  If that spell happens to be one that is on the character's class spell list, he can cast it up to four times per day.  The pages cannot be ripped out without destorying the book.  Similarly, the spells cannot be cast scroll spells, nor can they be copied into a spellbook, their magic is bound up permanently within the book itself.  The owner of the book need not have the book on his person in order to use its power.  The book can be stored in a place of safety while the owner is away and still allow its owner to cast spells by means of its power.  Each time a spell is cast, there is a chance that the energy connected with its use causes the page to magically turn despite all precautions.  The owner knows this and may even benefit from the turning by gaining access to a new spell.  The chace that a page turns depends on the spell the page contains and what sort of spellcaster the owner is.  <br> [similar to the Book of Infinate Spells] <br>  Strong (all schools); CL 18th.
*** '''Spells''' (Treat each spell use as if a scroll were being employed, for puposes of determining casting time, spell failure, and so on.)
