12) Notebook of Memorization

This spellbook is not intended for use on adventures, being too bulky for travel. However, the owner may leave it open to a particular page and recall at will what is written on that page.

This can be used to prepare a spell and as such will function as a regular spellbook, although only the one page will be accessible at a distance. The owner may refer to the notebook at any distance unless blocked by lead or gold foil or other anti-scrying measures.

The spell can also be cast as a scroll, but this removes the spell from the notebook permanently and thereafter the blank page cannot be used for recording spells for any purpose, though anything written on that page afterwards can be known by the owner at will when the Notebook is open to that page, even if it is only as complex as a grocery list.

To scribe a spell into the Notebook the owner must pay twice the normal cost to scribe a scroll. A spell so enscribed can be used any number of times to prepare the spell, just as a spellbook, but once used as a scroll it is gone.

Such books typically have twenty-five pages, though when found as treasure at least some will be enscribed, and some may have been used up.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Scribe Scroll, Scholar's Touch*
