GLOGTOBER Day 3: Fuckin' Tomes

Just as a man in service to a dragon undergoes a change in physiology and psychology, so too does a tome in service to a Practitioner undergo a similar metamorphosis. Spell books have been proven to develop minor sentience, exhibiting an intelligence on par with the average hound. In rare cases, a spell book may end up quite a bit more developed; oftentimes to the chagrin of their master.

So you've "found" a spell book that belongs to another Practitioner of the Art:

Construction

Binding

1. A mixture of ground up bone, ash, and... an adhesive. 

2. Thick tree bark, alive with various friendly and harmless insects.

3. Soft and supple leather, warm to the touch, smells like a freshly groomed beast.

4. Thick metal plate, would undoubtably stop projectile attacks if held strategically.

5. Purest Ivory, purloined from a legendary beast; highly illegal, will both open and close many doors.

6. No binding at all, if pages and ink exist they are loose and haphazard.

Pages

1. Human skin.

2. Intricately spun spider silk.

3. Red leather, warm to the touch and smells of copper.

4. Silver or gold, hammered impossibly thin. Exponentially increase the value of the book.

5. Richly colored fabric, looks and feels like nothing you have ever seen.

6. This book appears to have no pages, a puzzle it seems.

Ink

1. Blood.

2. Tree sap, the pages stick together and no spell can be cast in a hurry.

3. Rich black paste made from ground up hooves and horns.

4. Words engraved or embossed into the book.

5. Words have been magically burned into the pages.

6. The spell book appears to have no words, curiouser and curiouser.

Mood

1. Eager, excited.

2. Pensive, cautious.

3. Angry, mistrustful.

4. Alert, proactive.

5. Bored, obstinant. 

6. Ecstatic, obnoxious.

Locomotion

1. Flies as a bird, spine up, flapping its pages.

2. Slides across the ground in a tight zig zag pattern.

3. Skitters, spine up, pages rapidly open and close to facilitate movement.

4. Pop-hops, balancing on one corner.

5. Spine forward, pages slowly open and close to propel the book forward through the metaphorical sea.

6. Book appears to move when no one is looking at it, is simply in a new location when you look again.

Language

1. Traders Tongue or other common language.

2. Abyssal.

3. Your own voice, but with a mocking lilt.

4. Writing on its blank pages, roll again until you get a result other than 3 or 4.

5. Cockney rhyming slang.

6. Book will not communicate with... you people.
