The Magic Absorbing Book

Overview

A thief will try to pawn off a book on the party that is actually a book of infinite spells, but it sucks the spells out of any mage who uses it.

Trigger

The women will try to sell the book to who ever wants to buy it. She will start by asking 10,000 for the book, but will go as low as 100. She wants to get some cash so she can leave the city. She bought it from a man that was about to die. He said is was valuable, but does not know its true powers.

Description

While walking down the street you see what appears to be a women dressed in robes waving you over to the alley. Strung over her back is a bound leather sack.

Dm notes

The book is a Book of Infinite Spells that instead of allow a mage to cast spells from it, actually absorbes spells currently memorized by the mage. If a mage that has no spells currently memorized, then it will allow the mage to cast the spell on the current page, just as a book of infinite spells would.
