Magic Books of Faerûn
In this series, we'll look at some of the more interesting and unusual magical books of Faerûn, describe what magic they contain, and see who currently bears them. Some of these books are revealed for the first time, while others are a revisitation of tomes presented in older products like Pages from the Mages and Prayers from the Faithful.
Most of these books are spellbooks of some sort, whether containing arcane writings for mages, prayers for divine spellcasters, or collections of songs suitable for bards. Dungeon Masters can use these books to make new spells available to player characters. For example, if you haven't introduced spells from Unapproachable East to your campaign, presenting a book with such spells gives an in-game explanation for why your players would suddenly have access to spells they hadn't heard of before and whether the spells in question are actually new or were just missing for centuries.
The format of the book entries are as follows.

Reviews for "Revolutionizing the Skills: Skill-Overhaul Mods for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic"
- John - 2/5 - I wasn't a fan of the mods available for Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. I found them to be poorly designed and often caused glitches and crashes in the game. The mods didn't enhance the gameplay experience for me and instead made it frustrating and difficult to enjoy. I ended up playing the game without any mods and found it to be much more enjoyable that way.
- Sarah - 2/5 - As a big fan of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, I was excited to try out some mods to enhance my gameplay experience. However, I was disappointed with the mods I found. They lacked creativity and innovation, and most of them didn't add anything substantial to the game. I also encountered several compatibility issues and crashes while trying to use the mods. Overall, I felt that the mods didn't live up to my expectations and didn't add any value to the game.
- Mike - 1/5 - Dark Messiah of Might and Magic mods were a major letdown for me. I had high hopes for these mods to improve the game and make it more immersive, but I found them to be repetitive and uninteresting. The mods I tried didn't introduce any new and exciting features, and it felt like a wasted opportunity to enhance the gameplay. On top of that, some of the mods caused the game to become unstable, leading to frequent crashes. I would recommend avoiding these mods and sticking with the original game experience.
