A spellbook containing a variety of simple but useful magical incantations. Many prominent spellcasters used this book to begin their arcane studies.

The Book of Minor Magic is the starting book of the Hedge Wizard background.

Spells

Tile	Spell	Type	Level
	a - Magic Dart	Conjuration	1
	b - Blink	Translocation	2
	c - Call Imp	Summoning	2

Strategy

This is a great starting book for beginners, as Mephitic Cloud and Call Iimp can easily get you through the early game. Blink can get you out of nasty situations pretty quickly, and Conjure Flame can help keep most enemies at bay. However, once you encounter the Lair, the spells this book provides aren't strong enough anymore and you'll need help of other spells or items to survive there.

History

• In 0.20, Repel Missiles was removed.
• It was added in 0.8 as a replacement for three different Wizard starting books: flame, frost, and summoning.
