Abrac Adabra's Spell Book Breakdown -
Abrac typically uses a full 100-page standard book for each level of spells. There may be additional volumes for each level. This will allow for the standard amount of spells allowed by Intelligence and room for researched or specially found spells.
The first page of every book is a table of contents. Blank pages exist between every spell. These may later be used for other things. This may also prevent random removals of adjacent spells if the spellbook is read from directly. The Table of Contents does not contain page numbers.
Physical Descriptions
Each book is dyed according to the colored level-code, each is a thick leather-bound book. The corners are reinforced with mithril insets. The pages are of vellum. Each book has a matching leather case into which fits snugly. Both sides and bindings of the book and case have raised leather markings, written in Tethian Mage-script, indicating the volume number.
