+'''Spell books''' are [[item]]s that allow player to [[Spell memorisation|memorise]] [[spell]]s. They work similarly to [[parchment]]s, but spell books contain multiple spells.
 There are two types of spell books: standard ones with a set name and list of spells, and randomly generated ([[randart]]) books that contain multiple random, but often thematically linked, spells.
-==General==
+==Useful Info==
 Spell books are identified automatically on sight. Reading a spell book destroys the book and adds new spells to your spell library. [[Djinn]] are unable to learn spells from spellbooks but destroy the book anyway.
-Besides just finding them on the dungeon floor or in [[shop]]s, spell books can be obtained by using [[acquirement]] or as [[gift]]s from [[Sif Muna]].

-Spell books are not exactly rare, but there are so many different ones out there that finding a specific spell book may be difficult or even impossible in a given game. While book [[shop]]s provide a large, random assortment to choose from, spell books are also generally on the expensive side.

-[[Sif Muna]] grants spell books as [[gift]]s, which are more likely to be in for a school you've trained in. Regardless, each book will have at least one new spell, so followers will eventually have access to every spell in the game.  [[Gozag]]'s Call Merchant may create a bookstore, which have a large number of books (~8 each). So by sheer numbers, you are likely to recieve a useful book. Bookstores can, of course, spawn in the regular dungeon, where Gozag's funds at least help buy them.
