Description
Learning and developing new spells can be a tedious and time-consuming process. Luckily, the spelleater tome is a shortcut to becoming a spell-slinging savant. Originally a creation of Jonjo Starr, the tome has become a favorite among lazy wizarding apprentices the world over. This book has 8 charges and regains 1d4 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. It can be used as a spellbook and as a spellcasting focus by wizards.
Living Library: This tome is capable of copying and storing magical information. As an action, you can give it a spell scroll of 2nd level or lower, which it devours, destroying the scroll and adding the spell to its pages. While holding the book, you can cast one of the spells stored within it by expending a number of charges equal to the spell's level (save DC 13, +5 to hit; 1 charge for cantrips). The tome can store up to five spells in this way. If storing a new spell would take it above this maximum, you can choose one of its current spells to be replaced. When found, the book already contains one 1st-level spell and one 2nd-level spell, randomly determined.
