Category:Spellbook accessories

Spellbook accessories are separate, individual items that can be attached to custom spellbooks. Some accessories (spellbook beading) are purely decorative in nature. Others (shoulder chains, hip-chain harnesses, spellbook locks and bloodlocks, and spellbook sockets) also add functionality. Spellbook accessories are durable items that can be attached or removed at the owner's discretion. However, the spellbook must be closed and held in-hand to do so. Up to three (3) beading embellishments, one (1) shoulder chain or hip-chain harness, one (1) lock or bloodlock and one (1) socket can be attached at one-time. Attached accessories are visible upon a closed spellbook when LOOKed at. When detached from a spellbook, they may be stored in a spellbook case's miscellaneous (herbs, incense, oil, potions, naphtha, burins, talismans and other spell components) compartment. Spellbook accessories are sold at spellbook shops.
