Editing The Library at Wolf Keep

[[The Wilderlands of Absalom]]

Spellbooks add value to a mage's library as follows: Common spells (those within the Core and Player's Companion) are worth 150 gp per level.  Uncommon or rare spells (i.e. ones not appearing in those two books) are worth 250 gp per level.  Spells on scrolls are worth 75 gp per level (for Common) and 150 per level (for uncommon).  Since each mage casts slightly different versions of the same spell the value for similar spells in cumulative.  Therefore, a mage with two spellbooks in his library, each containing the spell ''Sleep'' would gain 300 gp towards his library.

The library at Wolf Keep contains the following texts, both magical and mundane:
'''Total Value of Library: '''6,450 gp

=Spellbooks=
*A curious cylinder of wood, perhaps six inches in diameter and a foot and-a half long. One quarter of the height has writing carved into it; those capable of understanding Faerie note that it is in that tongue, and those of a magical nature further note that the writings are magical. The cylinder weighs one stone. It is a spellbook containing ''Sleep'', ''Cause Fear'', and ''Detect Faerie Lands''. '''Library Value of 550 gp'''
*Owlbear spellbook with ''Jump'', ''Shield'' and ''Wall of Smoke''. The pages are swollen with moisture and some of the ink is smeared.

*A thick tome bound in two sheets of thin, hard greenish crystal that seems to radiate cold. The chill emanating from the book is cold enough to burn flesh.
