Spooktober #22 Magic! I love all this stuff, so it was fun.

Oh, the cleverness of me!

I started working on some doll scale spellboks and magical tomes. I want to build a great Wizard's Study in 1/4 scale for D&D&D!

I started by actually cutting pages and covering cardstock with fabric. Then I found my fancy cardstock and skipped several steps, which let me make them faster.

Lots of glue. Lots of drying time. Hrumph.

Went to Dollar(+25) Tree.

Found mini composition notebooks. They're closer to SD scale, but my wizard can have big books, as a treat.

And I dug out my sticker collection...

I'm THRILLED with how these turned out!

The library grows...

Harold Roth’s new book just in! @artofwitchcraft @haroldrothart It was first translated into English in 1896 by Moses Gaster, who removed many of the spells, making the text unusable for magic. Harold Roth's The Magic of the Sword of Moses is the first book to show, in detail, exactly how a magician can wield the Sword--how to effectively perform the purification ritual, adjure the angels, and pronounce and use the divine names for each spell. Freshly interpreted and with clear instructions on how to use the spells, The Magic of the Sword of Moses features a foreword by occult scholar Joseph Peterson as well I as information on how to practice ancient pre-Kabbalistic Jewish magic. Readers interested in working with early grimoires, hermeticism, angel magic, and occult talismans will find a treasure trove of information.

Thinking about Gale's spellbook.

Not the old one, the one he carried when he was Gale, the Wizard of Waterdeep - a gorgeous, leather-and-silver bound thing that bulged with a lifetime's worth of accumulated knowledge. There were spells in there penned over wine and cheese with Elminster; in a flow state that bordered on the spiritual after a night with Mystra, remembering her instruction, the feel of her soul against his. That spellbook was the testament to his success, the proof that he had excelled beyond the excellent -

And then Mystra cut him off from the Weave, and it all become meaningless.

His own runes, rendered incomprehensible; beautiful spell-glyphs that turned from condensed power and knowledge to worthless pieces of art. He has to start anew, from the ground up - reforging his connection to the Weave without Mystra's guidance (without her, without), relearning schoolboy spells. Humiliatingly easy magic, the kind he used to do like it was breathing, except this time he has to study and work and try and try, Tara urging him on with firm but gentle words.

He learns different spells, now. Mage Armour, Shield, Magic Missile. Not the kind of spells that he'll ever need on a day-to-day basis; spells that'll keep him alive long enough when he makes an exodus to the depths of the Underdark, or the centre of some desert wastes, and goes supernova.

The new spellbook is a plainer thing, small enough to fit in a robe pocket (because extradimensional storage spaces are no longer things he can make with a thought). And then he's snatched by a Nautiloid, and... honestly, he'd swear that the spine just wants to hold onto blood-spatters, no matter how many times he cleans them out. The pages get spotted from all the times he's had to flick them open in driving rain; the corners get creased from being shoved in and out of his robes.

And absolutely nothing can protect it from the unstoppable force of his friends.

Karlach nearly sends the whole thing up in flames one night by gesticulating a bit too wildly. Wyll laughs too hard one night and sprays wine all over Gale's new notes on Abjuration. Scratch picks up the entire thing and runs off with it when Gale's back is foolishly turned, and it's only a stern talking-to from Halsin that saves the whole thing from becoming a chew toy.

Smiley cat faces, doodled on the pages in Yenna's untidy hand. A helpful comment from Karlach on the Fireball page: 'AKA FUCK YEAH LET'S GO!!!!' A few lines of Wyll's perfect handwriting, a memento from a long discussion about how infernal energies could enhance fire magic; a few observations from Shadowheart on warding enchantments. Some terse comments on psionic magic from Lae'zel that Gale finds himself weaving into his Shields, and they do seem to hold up a little better now. (Other hands on his spellbook! Touching the pages he carries close to his heart! The man he was would never have believed it.)

He thinks of them all, as he writes new spells. Counterspell, because nothing will touch them. Spells that will carry his people from danger and shield them from harm. He watches Astarion pace before the fire one night and inscribes Sunbeam with a cold smile of promise to Cazador; he glowers at Mizora over the edge of the pages as he ponders what spells would be best suited to killing a devil.

A wizard's spellbook, Elminster told him once, is a reflection of their soul. Gale of Waterdeep's spellbook was a marvel; perfect and polished and resplendant. Untouched by any hands but his own.

Gale Dekarios's spellbook is battered and beloved, covered on every page with the fingerprints of his friends.

Spellbooks as Treasure

Are you like me, and enjoy the concept of spellbooks as treasure, but don’t like to detail individual spells in that appear in the book? [Insert Informercial Image of GM clumsily injuring themselves trying to write the names of spells on a piece of paper to detail a spellbook] Have I got an idea for you! Flexible Spellbooks as Treasure Part of this concept comes from the idea that some…
