[QUOTE="Goobermunch, post: 926086, member: 10516"] I'm surprised it's a book. It would make more sense if it was a 10' pole that transported anything that passed beneath it when suspended horizontally above the ground. Seriously though-- There are a couple of options here. You could have the wizard get grumpy that this useful tool is being used for such trivial matters. You could have enemies of the party steal the book (only to be destroyed by the wizard). The wizard could then replace the book with an item that has limited uses per day and is keyed only to the PC. You could do the above and have the item only allow communication. If the wizard needs to tranport items back and forth or arrange an in person meeting, perhaps he would use a variation on gate (targeted at the PC). Given that limbo is an inherently unstable plane, it's possible that the planar effects could start leaking out of the book. Alternatively, they plane's inherent instability could cause the book to start dumping the PC to a random location in Limbo. Perhaps the wizard discovers that the above will happen. He needs to replace the book. The new book (like the old book) has a cumulative 1% chance of malfunctioning when used for travel. That is, of course, unless the wizard is notified that the book is going to be used. Then he can perform a short ritual to strengthen the enchantment before the book is used. He'll get pretty tired of being called on as a travel agent before too long. Hope at least one of these ideas helps. --G [/QUOTE]
