Spellbooks publicity blurb

The Spellbook Page is a tool item. It is represented as a couple of old, worn pages with text written with an unknown alphabet on them, with some pictures on the top one as well.

There are five types of pages: Audere, Congeriae, Gratanter, Tumidum, and Veteris. Players may use Spellbook Pages on an Unfilled Fancy Spellbook to fill it; once three pages have been added, it is replaced with the Fancy Spellbook. Adding Spellbook Pages to the Fancy Spellbook has no effect other than increasing the page counters in the spellbook's description.

Spellbook Pages are available as random bonus items found when opening Halloween Packages, which are obtained by completing Halloween Contracts (also known as Merasmissions), or by performing a Halloween transmutation. One Spellbook Page, the Page of Tumidum, can only be obtained by completing the Helltower: The Mann-tastic Four achievement. Prior to Scream Fortress 2015, Spellbook pages could only be found in Haunted Halloween Gifts.
