Description

There is a tome of arcane knowledge that has been sought after by wizards and scholars alike, known as "The Astral Codex of Arcanum." This magical book is bound in the hide of a star-beast, a creature that roams the astral plane, and is adorned with copper filigree said to be from the lost city of Caelum. The Astral Codex is not the most powerful artifact within the magical community, but it is prized for its balanced enhancement to a spellcaster's abilities.

Backstory: The Astral Codex was created by the archmage Eilistraeen during the Age of Discovery, a time when the boundaries between the planes were unusually thin. Eilistraeen was an explorer of the multiverse, and in his travels, he gathered esoteric knowledge, combining it within this book. The gemstone embedded in the cover is an Arcane Nexus Crystal, capable of channeling raw magical energy from the astral plane.

Properties of The Astral Codex of Arcanum:

  • Planar Knowledge: The tome grants the reader insight into the nature of the multiverse, providing advantage on Arcana checks related to other planes of existence.
  • Astral Infusion: Spells cast from the book occasionally exhibit enhanced effects, their power augmented by the astral energies woven into the tome's pages.
  • Guidance of the Stars: The wielder of the book finds their mind more attuned to the ebb and flow of magic, granting them an additional spell slot of the highest level they can cast, once per long rest.
  • Curse of The Astral Codex of Arcanum:

  • Astral Echo: The knowledge within the book is vast and overwhelming. Each time the additional spell slot is used, the caster's mind is filled with the cacophony of the astral plane, imposing disadvantage on concentration checks until their next long rest.
  • Starbeast's Yearning: The book longs to return to the astral plane. If it is not used for planar research or spellcasting regularly, it will teleport itself to a random location on the same plane, seeking a more attentive reader.
  • The Astral Codex of Arcanum is a treasure for any arcanist pursuing the secrets that lie between worlds, offering them a taste of the vastness of the cosmos. However, wielding such a tome comes with the risk of being overwhelmed by the very knowledge one seeks to master. It is a repository of Eilistraeen's life's work, a gift to the learned that demands respect for the mysteries it contains.
