OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Spell Tomes
Type: Spell Storage
Credits: N/A
Consolidation Thread: N/A
Description: Spell Tomes are arcane books containing written incantations from various magical schools and disciplines. These tomes allow anyone with the necessary power and mana reserves to cast the inscribed spells, regardless of their magical background or orientation. However, the spell must be read aloud directly from the tome, resulting in a slower casting time compared to traditional spellcasting.
ATTRIBUTES
STRENGTHS
+ Anyone with sufficient magical ability and mana can cast spells from a tome, regardless of their school or magical alignment.
+ Spell Tomes can store a wide range of spells, making them valuable repositories of arcane knowledge and power
WEAKNESSES
- Spells must be read aloud directly from the tome, significantly increasing the casting time. High-tier spells take even longer due to their complex incantations.
- Stronger spells require more pages to contain their full incantations, making powerful tomes bulky and heavy.
- Transporting multiple or larger tomes can become physically demanding, especially for non-magical carriers or during long journeys.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Spell Tomes have been a cornerstone of arcane tradition since the earliest days of structured magic. Originally developed by scholarly mages who sought to preserve rare and dangerous spells, these tomes gradually became more widespread as literacy and magical study expanded. While once limited to elite circles within magical academies, the practice of crafting and using spell tomes has now spread to independent sorcerers, hedge wizards, and even well-stocked adventuring guilds. Though their use requires patience and discipline, Spell Tomes remain a powerful tool for any spellcaster willing to trade speed for versatility.
