To be fair, that sounds like a nice one in and of itself to put in there. Less "useful artifact that you might accidentally hand to the players", same style bonus.

Khadgar, can you elaborate on this? The only Eronomicon I can find appears to be a list of spells, rituals, items, and artifacts. Is that more or less what you had in mind?

Hmmm... I think I'll just consolidate all ten volumes in each collection to a single entry. That puts the Macronomicon at 1052, and our next volume at 1053.

Yeah, it's kind of lame if you pick random numbers from a 2000 entry list and 5% of them are basically the same book, and useless to boot. ;)

Feel free to consolidate the Oerth Ritual Almanack, as well. I envisioned each one as having a ton of details on the calculation and observation of such phenomena, such that you could work out exactly what percentage of, say, a solar eclipse you'd see from anywhere on the map, but also the impacts of such things on numerous rituals (e.g., you might be able to work out that a new moon will work just as well as a total eclipse for the Rite of Evadnosenra, or that a crystal sphere alignment of only Oerth and Mystara will suffice for the Incantation of Yragxagyg, but the effect will be stronger in a full alignment). But since each volume is covering different astronomical and planar movements/events, the lot could be rolled together as one entry with subheadings.
