Spell Mastery Spellbook Writeup

Each of these mystical books, once written by a great spellcaster ages past teach a spell to its
full potential to the reader. When one of these books is introduced to the game, roll
randomly for which spell attributes the book effects, then note these down, as each book
only ever teaches that spell with those increased attributes. To gain the effects of the book,
the book must be read by a caster with the ability to cast spells of the level of the spellbook.
The book takes 36 hours to read and must be read entirely over a period of 4 days. Once
this book has been read in its entirety, it loses its magic for d10 years, and that spellcaster
can cast that spell as per their Spellcasting/Pact Magic ability, with its attributes altered. If
the spell is a damaging spell, the first effect of the book is always damage maximisation,
and you roll one more attribute change on the D12 table below. If the spell does not deal
damage, roll twice for the attributes altered.
Rarity of book based on spell level.
