Spellbooks

In order for Wu Jen to cast spells, they must memorize them from a book. A level 1 Wu Jen starts with a Traveling Book, which will likely fill up quickly as he or she discovers new spells. Wu Jen with calligraphy skills can make their own books with a successful INT check and materials equal to 40% of the market price of the book - a failure of either roll means the book is junk. A tanner must bind the book. A high roll can increase the number of spells it can hold at DM's discretion; ditto a low roll. A 1 means the tanner ruined the book.
