Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arbiter of Wyrms" data-source="post: 2330000" data-attributes="member: 18021">The Master TextAn NPC wizard in my campaign world has created an artifact: The Master Text.He owns a bookshop/bookbinding shop, and keeps The Master Text in a vault in the basement.  Every blank spellbook he sells is enchanted to send a copy of every spell recorded therein to The Master Text.  He spends a lot of money enchanting these spellbooks and hiding the enchantments with Magic Aura spells, but he more than recovers his losses by discretely selling unique spells to high-paying clients.The Master Text is highly resistant to the kinds of "cursed" spells that ruin or rearrange the books into which they're scribed, but some effort is still required toward protecting the contents of The Master Text and adding to its pages.This NPC is also one of the current campaign's biggest proponent of "magical common," a common system of spell notation advocated at several wizard academies as "more efficient," and facilitative of scholarly cooperation and the advancement of learning.  Magical Common" has become so widespread that nearly all wizards of note are familiar enough with it to read its notations as well as they can their own, and are able to record spells with this system, even if they themselves refrain from using it to record spells in their own spellbooks.</blockquote>
