===Tomes, Books and Scrolls===
''Tomes on arcane philosophy that contain rituals. Such ritual books are part of the treasure you acquire while adventuring. The value of a blank ritual book is 50 gp. A ritual book is 128 pages long. Each ritual takes up a number of pages equal to its level. The description of each ritual gives its market price, which is the gold piece cost for a book containing that ritual or the cost to add the new ritual to your existing ritual book or spellbook (if there’s enough room in it).''

*  '''The Things that Crawl and Worm''' <br> This book is reasonably easy to understand. With a bit of reading, it will be revealed that it has little useful information. Though flawed, one can definitely see that the contents have moments of intriguing originality. "Animal Messenger":  You whisper to the animal before you, and it bounds off in the direction you point to carry your message. (Ritual Book)
*  '''The Integument of The Community of Nature: New Speculations'''  <br> This book is all but impossible to understand thanks to there being no coherent organization whatsoever. If one miraculously managed to understand the book's contents, that person will find it has a lot useful information. One will also find that the contents have moments of intriguing originality. "Commune with Nature":  By communing with the spirits of the land, you know exactly where to find food, shelter, or a clue to the location of the thing you seek. (Ritual Scroll)
*  '''A Tutorial To the Defenses Against the Mites Within'''  <br> This book is of average clarity. Sitting down with it will reveal it is reasonably useful. After a quick examination, one will find that the contents have moments of intriguing originality. "Cure Disease":  Even the most horrid affliction disappears in response to your healing touch. (Ritual Scroll)
*  '''Minor Legend of the Wonderful Storm Gods'''  <br> This book is of average clarity due to the good diagrams. Reading it will show that it is extremely informative. Sadly, the contents are not very original. Examining the book, one will find: Bookmarks marking pages that seem to have some errors in them. Pieces of paper with notes expanding on informative information in the book. "Endure Elements":  Neither the biting cold nor the searing heat troubles you anymore. You travel in arctic or desert wastes as comfortably as in temperate climates. (Ritual Book)
*  '''An Examination of Classic Necromancy'''  <br> This book is of above-average clarity because of the good references. This clarity allows one to determine that it is reasonably useful. After a quick examination, one will find that the contents were probably taken from several works. Examining the book, one will find: Written notes commenting critically on related elements in the book Bookmarks marking pages that seem to have some errors in them. "Gentle Repose":  Your practiced hands perform the ritual fast enough to preserve the body for a later casting of Raise Dead. (Ritual Book)
*  '''The Theological Conflicts and Holding Them at Bay'''  <br> This book is not very clear because of the poor diagrams. With time, intellect, or both, one can make sense of the book, and it will reveal it has little useful information. Making the book virtually useless, it appears that the contents are not very original. "Magic Circle":  The circle of symbols scratched into the ground glows and sparks briefly as the demon tests the boundary. “This will not save you for long!” it hisses. (Ritual Scroll)
*  '''The All-Powerful Voice of the Prince'''  <br> This book is reasonably clear thanks to the well-done illustrations that make up for a lack of coherent planning. With a bit of reading, it will be revealed that it is reasonably useful. After some reading, it is apparent that the concepts in the book do show a lot of original thought. Examining the book, one will find: Bookmarks that show no pattern in their location. Pieces of paper with notes, in some kind of code, commenting critically on related elements in the book. "Magic Mouth":  The stone wall grinds as it reshapes into the semblance of dry, cracked lips framing teeth like canting tombstones. “Beware!” it says. (Ritual Scroll)
*  '''The Death-Rattle Prayers'''  <br> This book is easy to understand. A short look at the book will show that it is reasonably useful. After some reading, it is apparent that the contents contain some original thought. "Speak with Dead":  At your prompt, the corpse reveals its secrets to you. (Ritual Scroll)
*  '''The Capitol's Early Travels'''  <br> This book is easily understandable due to careful, well-planned chapters. This clarity allows one to determine that it is extremely informative. One will also find that the contents provide an occasional insight or new idea. "Travelers’ Feast":  Food for your entire group materializes out of the air, enough to sustain you through a long day’s march. (Ritual Book)
*  '''A Tome of Ancient Things'''  <br> This book is of average clarity mostly due to the good references that almost make up for a meandering writing style. A small study will show it has no useful information. One may be deterred from reading it, but it is evident that the contents have a few areas of deep insight. Examining the book, one will find: A map can be found in the back of the book. "Comprehend Language":  As you finish the ritual, the guttural language of the creatures before you clarifies into something you understand. (Ritual Book)
*  '''The Primal Organization of Wholeness: Unexpected Similarities'''   <br> This book is not very clear due to the poor diagrams. If someone makes an effort to read it, they will find it has a lot useful information. Making it even more of a find, the concepts in the book do show a lot of original thought. Make Whole:  As you finish the ritual, the oaken door stands whole and unblemished as if Orten the Rager hadn’t just burst through it with murder in his eyes. It’s the least you can do after using the inn to ambush the infamous barbarian. (Ritual Book)
