I didn't use any rules, I just roleplayed the whole thing out, though. The caster got certain benefits from using the book to prepare spells from at first with no drawbacks. Then the book told him that in exchange for some of his life-force (Con score) it could bond with him to make him able to spontaneously cast certain spells. Slowly over time I just added ability after ability each didn't seem like too much, some Con here, some HP there, just a smidge of Wisdom, all in exchange for immunity to level drain, ability score damage, Necomancy specialization... Until the character was almost totally relyant on the book for functioning day to day.I doubt that's exactly what you're aiming for, but don't overlook the possibility to corrupt through power. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
