Lurking in forgotten arcane libraries, spells can occasionally leak into the tomes in which they are contained, morphing the books into sentient beings of arcane power. When picked up, the book comes alive, capable of casting any spell contained within its pages in order to defend itself. In addition, they are able to transform any form of attack into a spell -including nonmagical attacks-, which is then inscribed and ready to cast later. Because of this, they usually contain very unique spells such as Sword Swing (Close, d8 damage) or even Shield (+1 armor forward, one-handed). Their magical protection is a result of the constant flow of magical energy emanating from them, although some theorize it to be a spell itself. Instinct: To learn
