This beautifully illustrated book will be found shelved with the non-Hermetic bits of the library since it's not obviously a grimoire. It looks like an ordinary storybook containing tales of the type usually told to children. Upon closer examination a discerning reader will discover that it actually contains an extensive collection of very low-level spells. Each is presented in-text during the course of one of the tome's ten stories as a rhyme, a chant, or a simple dance that helps the young hero or heroine overcome a difficult situation. |

Most of the spells in this small, leather-bound book require unusual elemental requisites, reflecting the theoretical bias of their creator. Many of the book's marginal notes and illustrations depict cloud formations. |

This large book looks like its been through a war... Or several... And a house-fire... Or several. The corners are dog-eared, the binding is loose, and many of the pages are scorched or stained with caustic chemicals. The handwriting is terrible, and the illustrations look like the work of a mad-man. |
