Spell books were most recently sold at the 438 Guildfest at Mystical Machinations.
In addition to holding guild spells, if you have a SCROLL leaf, scrolls can be transferred into them via the scribe command.
Verbs
In addition to TURN, READ, STUDY, OPEN, CLOSE and the neat one ARRANGE there is...
- CENTER: You come across a section in your spellbook which describes a centering technique used for maximizing one's concentration while working a spell. You decide to try it. Closing your eyes, you inhale slowly and attempt to feel the mana flowing through and around your body, as if you were the heart of the world and all the mana within it flowed outward from your center. It doesn't feel like the spellbook said it should, though. You probably need more practice.
Roundtime: 10 seconds - POKE SPELLBOOK:
- Open
- You stick your finger into the spellbook to mark your place and close it.
- Closed
- You spot a stain on the cover of your spellbook and brush at it with a fingertip, frowning.
- SCOWL SPELLBOOK:
- Open
- You scan the crabbed writing on a page in the spellbook with a scowl on your face. This passage seems to contradict the one on the opposite page, and you glare at the spellbook accusingly.
- Closed
- You glance down at the closed spellbook. Closed and forlorn, it seems to silently accuse you of neglecting your studies.
- CURSE SPELLBOOK:
- Open
- A handful of pages suddenly fall out of your <description> spellbook! You curse under your breath, then gather up the pages and lay them back in their place. You invoke a minor cantrip and they're bound in once more, tight and even.
- Closed
- Your spellbook suddenly slips out of your hand and falls with a splat. Cursing your clumsiness you pick it back up, inspecting it for damage.
- BEAM SPELLBOOK:
- Open
- You smile at a passage in your spellbook, then page back to another section. Beaming happily, you flip back and forth between the two, comparing them and making mental notes about what you could do by combining the principles discussed in the two chapters.
- Closed
- You beam happily at your spellbook, anticipating what you'll do with all the magical lore it contains.
- CACKLE SPELLBOOK:
- Open
- You suddenly find the one secret you've been searching for the last decade or more, right there in your spellbook! You cackle with glee, visions of power dancing in your head.
- Closed
- You suddenly cackle at your spellbook, unable to contain your glee at the wonderful secrets contained in its magical lore.

- Open
- Whoever originally wrote your <description> spellbook had a particularly wry sense of humor, and you chuckle at an especially pointed example.

- PEER SPELLBOOK:
- Open

- Closed
- You read the title of your spellbook, musing that it might be shorter were it changed to, "An Encyclopedic Discourse Upon the Principles and Practices of the Magical Arts, as Practiced in the Century Following the Great Victory of Lanival, Within the Mainland Realms, Excluding the Usages of the Fae Folk, Save for Certain Speculations On Same."
- GLANCE SPELLBOOK:

- Closed
- You glance at the spellbook and wonder what secrets it still holds, wishing you could spend a dozen lifetimes studying the arcane knowledge hidden within its pages.

- WAVE SPELLBOOK AT <SELF> You hit yourself in the head with a <description> spellbook!
- BABBLE SPELLBOOK
- Open
- A passage in your spellbook startles you and you begin to babble in amazement, your eyes wide and round.
- Closed

- BLAME SPELLBOOK
- Open
- You reread a page in your spellbook, your mood growing darker with every line. Sick with disappointment you slam the page with your fist, muttering to yourself.

- CLEAN SPELLBOOK

- Closed
- A mosquito lights nearby and without thinking you smack it with your spellbook. Realizing what you've just done, you lick your finger and do your best to clean the splotched bug guts off the cover of your spellbook, muttering to yourself about thinking before you act.
- COUGH SPELLBOOK The passage you've just read in your <description> spellbook seems to completely contradict what you've been taught, and indeed what your experience tells you, about the relationship between the elements. Stunned into shock you swallow the wrong way and begin to cough violently. When you've recovered you look back at the lines once more and see that you've simply transposed two words in your reading. All is well once more.

- Closed
- You lay your head down on the top of your spellbook and drift off to sleep, snoring softly. But if you can tell you're snoring you must not actually be asleep. But if you weren't asleep you wouldn't be snoring. Maybe you're just dreaming that you're snoring?
