The so-called Book of Magic was the nickname of an otherwise untitled spellbook.
Description[]
This folio, as decribed by a Tir Asleen librarian, was bound in calfskin with stamped brass corner pieces, and a sewn spine of silk. It contained 54 pages of vellum, each handwritten, illustrated, and unumbered. The folio was in good condition with slightly foxed pages.[1]
History[]
Vulsant, the court magician of Tir Asleen, once gave this book to his apprentice, the fair sorceress Fin Raziel. After the evil enchantress Bavmorda became queen consort of Tir Asleen, Raziel first fell out of favor, then was turned into a possum and exiled on an island. The Book of Magic remained in the castle library at Tir Asleen. Many years later, Bavmorda and her allies were defeated during the battle of Nockmaar. Raziel, who had reverted to her true form, retrieved the spellbook from Tir Asleen Castle.[1] She gave it to Willow Ufgood, a Nelwyn farmer and apprentice sorcerer.[2]
