| This is a consolidated page that describes the mechanics of an item with many cosmetic variations, such as Hollow Eve gifts. Please document functionality, verbs, and other important information here instead of posting it on individual item pages. This ensures that all of the documentation is on one page instead of having it scattered across multiple pages; it also simplifies collaboration.

Found a narrow felwood bookshelf just outside of the First Arachnid Bank in the festival grounds.
Details
Once every 24 real life hours, you can WRITE in the journal to immediately absorb a portion of your field experience into ranks. The percentage of field exp absorbed per use will slowly increase as you use the journal, until it hits its capped percentage.
The journal also records a little memory each time it's used, which you can READ back later, has some fun verbs, and is wearable (with a few adjustable worn slot options). The way your journal looks can be altered, if you find a merchant willing to change how a magical book looks.
Variations
