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, which functions exactly 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.

Trivia

• The various spells are in Latin. They translate to the following:
  • Tumidum: Swollen or distended; confidence. neuter adjective (tumidus, a, um)
  • Audere: Having courage; being prepared. (audeo, ausus sum, ere)
  • Gratanter: With joy or rejoicing. (gratanter Capit , Amm = grate)
  • Congeriae: Chaos; accumulation; ruins. noun (congeries, ei f)

• When casting spells with the Fancy Spellbook, sparkle particle effects are added to the default cast particle present on the Spellbook Magazine.
• Different spellbook pages add different particle effects to the casting hand. The more pages added, the stronger the particle effect.
• The publicity blurb is in direct reference to The Evil Dead, a series of horror films revolving around the Necronomicon, a spellbook described similarly.
