One of my players brought a copy to my game this past weekend, and I was able to glance through it for a few minutes before the game. From what little I was able to examine it, I found the book to be a nice collection of some existing spells already published within various gaming suppliments, as well as a source of additional new spells. In particular, I liked a new aspect of this book that gave a basic description of what the spell would look like when the enchantment was coming into effect in italic text below the initial entry. I did find the book to be a little pricey, however....if I remember right it was around $40, which I find a bit steep for a hardback book that is only a little thicker than Heroes of Horror.

But isn't just about every WotC book 40$ now a days? I remember back in high school - i sued to save up 2$ from my lunch money every day so that after 2 weeks or so, I could by a new gaming book... back in the TSR days... It's very hard to justify buying almost ANY gaming book now, because they're so damned expensive!!!Blake_Alexander wrote:One of my players brought a copy to my game this past weekend, and I was able to glance through it for a few minutes before the game.

One of the best books I've bought. 5/5 magic wands!
Tons of spells. Some are very useful and should have been implemented in the PHB IMO, some are ingenious and just a few are over the edge (meaning they are too strong).
A few examples:
1. 1st level cleric spells:
give attack roll bonus,
give deflection,
give attack and damage bonus,
give magical bonus to weapons,
...
but they don't give a bonus to all saves, resistance is just a +1 for once. Conviction spell fixes that hole.
2. Cleric gets some good curses, and a few spells that he can use in combat in a cleric way, meaning they aren't as dramatic or powerful as fireball or lighting bolt but they make use of the cleric's higher attack roll, like ice-axe.
3. Wizards get a bunch of spells that do... almost anything. Attack spells, defending spells, protective spells, and general usef/make-your-life-easier tools.
4. You can use the information in this book and PHB (and I would suggest Eldrich might also) and make a wizard that specializes in whatever you want and not lacking for ideas. I mean more than necromancer, evocer etc.
I mean a spellcaster specialized in: Curses or fire spells or spells that alter things or spells about undead etc and not be (heavily) penalized.
You can even have a spellcasted that has no school other than divination and be useful in battle.
