My 5th Level Wizard recently found the spellbook of a higher level Wizardess (long since dead). I'm pretty sure the book is trapped (it radiates magic), and I think it's probably Explosive Runes (though maybe Sepia Snake Sigil, but I'm less worried about that .. a little stasis might be nice).
After we get out of this dungeon, I'd like to try and see what's inside. I think Erase is a better option than Dispel Magic (assuming the Wizardess was 9th level, I would need a 15 or higher on Dispel Magic (DC 11 + her caster level (9), d20 + caster level (5)), but I would need only a 10 or higher on an Erase check (DC 15, d20 + caster level).
Of course, I hope to gain one or two more levels before we get out of here, so that may make the rolls easier.
The problem is that a failed roll means that not only would I take damage from Explosive Runes, but the book is likely to be destoyed.
My question is: Is it possible to cast Protection from Elements on the book? Or more likely, if I had the spell cast on myself, would the book be protected if I held it in one hand (and cast Erase with the other)?. Any other thoughts?
