* Crystal tomes are impeccably scary in an open field. They can deal up to 240 damage per cast, enough to one-shot most characters venturing into [[the Depths]].
* Living spells work similarly to the player [[Foxfire]] spell. It creates a living spell entity, which must have a direct path to a hostile target. If you are in melee range with a tome in a corridor, most of the living spells will be unable to hit you. But unlike the foxfire spell, living spells can spawn behind the player (radius-2 of the walking tome), so a corridor is not foolproof.
** If needed, you can attack a living spell, which will destroy it before it gets the chance to cast itself.
* [[Silence]] works on walking tomes, preventing them from casting at all.

A spellbook that has gone too long without being read. It overflows with magic, forming thick armour from its binding, legs from its pages, and periodically erupting in flurries of free-floating, self-casting spells.

It is encrusted with long, sharp, deadly-looking crystals.

  • Living spells work similarly to the player Foxfire spell. It creates a living spell entity, which must have a direct path to a hostile target. If you are in melee range with a tome in a corridor, most of the living spells will be unable to hit you. But unlike the foxfire spell, living spells can spawn behind the player (radius-2 of the walking tome), so a corridor is not foolproof.
    • If needed, you can attack a living spell, which will destroy it before it gets the chance to cast itself.
  • Silence works on walking tomes, preventing them from casting at all.
