Further Reading

The Book of Power contains a variety of more powerful Conjurations, while the Book of Ice and Book of the Sky contain advanced spells in Ice Magic and Air Magic, respectively. Additionally, skilled Conjurers may wish to seek out the Book of Annihilations, which contains the most powerful Conjurations available.

History

Previously, there were two possible starting books for Conjurers: one much like this one that focused on Air and Ice Magic and another that focused on Fire and Earth Magic. In 0.12, the book will be reworked to contain a number of entirely new spells, as well as Iskenderun's Mystic Blast. Notably, the new book will have no elemental spells at all.
