Tome of Teaching

These types of books allow a person to become proficient in various languages and tools. The pages of such a book are enchanted so that they resonate more directly with the reader's mind. These enchantments connect directly with the mind of the first person who spends some time read the book, which means it can only be used once after it has been created. The enchantment is able to bypass a number of conventional memory and learning barriers which makes these type of tomes effective even for individuals with difficulties with traditional learning methods. There are two major types of tomes, Tonguetomes for languages, and Tooltomes for tools.

Tomes of Tongues

Learning Languages. The pages of these books are enchanted with auditory illusion magic. When you read a Tonguetome, you hear the words written in it spoken in your mind. This enchantment allows you to comprehend and learn the language written within its pages more quickly. When you read such a book for at least 1 hour, the enchantment imprints on you, and the book can no longer be used by another creature. To learn a new language using one of these tomes, you must dedicate time to studying it. The time required equals a number of weeks equal to 8 minus your Intelligence modifier. Upon completion of this study, you gain proficiency with the language and have the ability to speak, read, and write the language fluently.  

Tomes of Tools

The pages of these types of books are enchanted with visual illusion magic. This enchantment allows you to visualize the use and/or application of a set of tools in the processes described within the pages clearly in your mind. When you read such a book for at least 1 hour, the enchantment imprints on you, and the book can no longer be used by another creature. To learn how to use a set of tools using a tome, you must dedicate time to studying and practicing the techniques within the book for a number of weeks depending on the set of tools and specific modifiers. You need an amount of gp worth of materials (that are fully expended in the process) and the set of tools themselves. Upon completion of the study, you gain proficiency with tools and have successfully crafted or created a certain product. The time, costs and product per book are outlined in the table below. The study does not grant knowledge of every singular detail (such as products, recipes or fabrication processes) associated with the craft or set of tools. Further knowledge may require additional research or study from different sources.   Tooltome Variants
