Bound in human skin! Written in human blood! Covered, for some reason, in tiny human hairs!
— Spellbooks publicity blurb

The Fancy Spellbook is an item given to players who fill their unfilled fancy spellbook with three spellbook pages. It can be equipped in the action slot, and functions exactly the same as the Spellbook Magazine. However, it is displayed as a large spellbook on the classes' belt similarly to the Power Up Canteen.

Despite only requiring three pages to be completely filled, players can continue to insert more pages into the book which increases one of the counters in the description for the respective page you have added.
