Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darren" data-source="post: 1901744" data-attributes="member: 22701">This is sort of a rules question, but sort of a general gameplay question too... move it if it needs to be...Does a wizard's spellbook have a magical aura?  If so, what?  One for each spell, or one for the entire book?  And how would you go about masking the aura(s)?I'm looking at ways to hide an evil necromancer from common detection.  I've got a ring of mind shielding for the necromancer, but I'm not sure about the spellbook.  A special item similar to the ring just for the spellbook seems a bit cheesy, and keeping it in a lead box isn't quite an option.  I'd like to have a good answer ready if and when a detect spell is used near it, specifically detect evil because of the spells with the evil descriptor it contains.Of course, if it doesn't have an aura, I don't need to worry about any of this.  But this seems somehow "wrong" to me.  If I'm wrong about the aura, please feel free to convince me and provide a good explanation or rules reference to give to the players when they ask why they couldn't detect it.  Otherwise, ways for a mid-level or higher wizard to hide a spellbook from detection would be appreciated.Thanks.</blockquote>
