A standard blank spellbook favored by wizards. Durable leather cover, sewn signatures, acid-proof vellum pages.

A prefilled wizard's grimoire taken from an estate sale. Useful to a spellcaster who wants ready material to copy.

A stitched leather atlas annotated with ink that seems to shift when moonlight hits it. Adventurers prize it for tracking arcane currents.

When consulted for at least 10 minutes, the map pinpoints the nearest significant ley node or ancient library within 200 miles with a directional bearing. After use the map goes dim for 24 hours.

A small crystalline vial of midnight-blue ink that hums faintly when uncorked. Favored by copyists and conservators.

When used to copy a spell into a spellbook, the time required is halved and the material gold cost is halved for that single scribing. The vial is consumed.

A ribbon of embroidered silk with a silver charm. Slip it in a page to anchor a passage in memory.

Once per day while a reader studies from a book under calm conditions, grant advantage on one Intelligence-based check related to the book's subject.

A brass reading lantern fitted with a lens of clear crystal. Its light sharpens faded ink and calms the eyes.

While a book is read by lamplight from this device, the reader gains advantage on Arcana checks to recall lore from the text. Lasts for 8 hours before needing recharging.

A sturdy satchel woven with runic thread. Book conservators use it to carry fragile volumes across seasons.

Books kept inside do not age, rot, or fade for up to 100 years while inside the satchel. Holds up to 10 medium-sized tomes.

A brittle folio with pencil marks, stray wormholes, and the faint scent of old glue. Promises discovery for the patient and careful.

When followed with successful checks, yields the location of a forgotten repository or small isolated library worth x100 gp in books and small curios, plus a chance of a minor magic trinket.

Professional rebinding and conservation service for rare books and spellbooks. Wards, rebinding, and minor scribing available.

Optional minor enchantments available at extra cost: waterproofing, anti-mold charm, and a simple protective sigil that grants bonus to checks to recall the book's content for 30 days.

A thin brass bar embossed with sigils used by scholars to mark important sections or secrets.

When placed in a spellbook, the bookmark records the layout and marginalia. A new reader gains advantage on a single Intelligence check to copy or decipher those notes within 24 hours.

A small assortment of everyday supplies suitable for scribes and researchers.

Bulk buys available; parchment sold per sheet.
Miscellaneous3

A rare, pristine spell scroll containing a 9th-level spell. Stored in a silver tube lined with rune-paper.

Holds one 9th-level spell. When read, the scroll casts the spell if the reader can cast spells of that level; otherwise the scroll is unintelligible or risks a mishap.

A weathered scroll protected by a glass case. Useful when desperate or when gaining a high-level effect without long preparation.

Contains one 7th-level spell.

A thin pamphlet with arcane sigils on every page. Easier to tuck into a satchel than a long scroll.

Contains one 6th-level ritual or nonritual spell, intended to be read and expended by a caster able to cast that level of magic.
Miscellaneous6

A heavy, gilded volume on the art of leadership and presence. The text shifts to suit the reader, offering lessons on etiquette, command, and persuasion.

After 48 hours of study over a maximum of 6 days, +2 to Charisma and your Charisma maximum increases by 2. Then the book becomes nonmagical for a century.

A vellum-bound manual of physical regimen, breathing exercises, and rare alchemical recipes for bodily fortitude.

After required study, your Constitution increases by 2 and its maximum increases by 2. The book then loses its magic for a long interval.

A slim volume of exercises, reflex drills, and mental scaffolding that sharpens a reader's reflexes and coordination.

After required study, your Dexterity increases by 2 and its maximum increases by 2.

A dense, margin-annotated treatise on logic, classification, and arcane theory. The handwriting in the margins glows faintly while studied.

After required study, your Intelligence increases by 2 and its maximum increases by 2.

A compact volume of parables, meditative techniques, and the recorded observations of sages.

After required study, your Wisdom increases by 2 and its maximum increases by 2.

A leather-bound grimoire with a lock and three gemstone insets. Each inset holds the echo of a single stored spell.

A stored 3rd-level arcane spell may be cast from the grimoire once per charge without using the caster's slots. Spells must be written into it by a spellcaster who expends the spell slot to store it.

Shop Atmosphere

“The shopkeeper insists on cataloguing any book that enters the shop by stamping a tiny sigil inside the front cover. Regular customers swear the sigil hums faintly when the owner is nearby. The bell over the door rings in two distinct tones depending on whether a book brought in is mundane or arcane.”
