[QUOTE="Shardstone, post: 9094807, member: 6807784"] Tbh, I find that Pact of the Tome as a cantrip is revolutionary. The idea of being able to turn spellbooks into cantrips is a very interesting idea. If maximized a bit more, you could have it so wizards etc learn the cantrip needed to summon a special spellbook, and at certain levels, the cantrip adds more spells to your spell list while the book is summoned. Now you can summon different books for different situations. Alternatively, the cantrips could just give you a bonus when casting the spells you learned from the spellbook. Let's say "Tasha's Spellbook" (cantrip) adds Tasha's Hideous Laughter to your spell list permanently (if you don't have it already). When cast while the cantrip is activated, it could be automatically upcast, or it could have some other bonus, or maybe a new rider is added to its effect. A character is still limited by how many cantrips they can know, while the wizard can add spellbooks to THEIR spellbook. Sounds weird, I know, but idk, it sounds really rad in my mind, and adds a new layer to the idea of spellbooks, collecting arcane lore, etc. Maximized even more, you could have holy symbols turned into cantrips too. Learn how to conjure the holy symbol of the Raven Queen and you gain access to her spells while its conjured or get a bonus for using spells you got from learning this cantrip. [/QUOTE]
