[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6952250, member: 20323"] [MENTION=6782171]M.T. Black[/MENTION] The Rare and Banned Books Repository Aging parchments written in forgotten tongues, map folios bursting at the seams, and spellbooks inscribed with the True Names of fiends and celestials alike line the 40-foot high circular walls of this creaking repository. Two barely visible [i]walls of force[/i] contoured to the shape of the room whirl in opposite directions at varying speeds; each [I]wall of force[/I] has a slight gap in it that only lines up for a fraction of a second with the gap of the other [I]wall of force.[/I] Thus, physically reaching through that gap to grasp a book from the shelves is an extremely difficult task beyond the scope of all but the most talented of mortal thieves. At the very top and center of the room is a large 25-pound floating black book that serves as a magical index of all rare and banned books in the repository; within this index is mention of several books containing spells that might be helpful for dealing with the whirling [I]walls of force,[/I] among whatever other volumes are apropos for your particular archmage. Anyone attempting to fly above 10-feet finds some of the books animating and flying from the shelves, shooting through that gap to attack the flyer until they're back on the ground. A creature flying through magical means who is struck by a flying book must make a saving throw or the effect allowing them to fly is dispelled for 1 minute. However, these very same defenders can be controlled telekinetically, through [I]mage hand[/I], via object control magic, or even solid use of a lasso to hover in place, creating a floating "staircase" out of the flying books.
