I got it in my head to do a project the other day, when I saw these really nice book shaped cardboard boxes at Michaels.
That had absolutely hideous covers...

So I decided to revamp it. thinking a simple magic circle printed out, distressed around the edges and then modge podged on top of a repainted and sealed book would look much better. (I'll toss up the finished project when I get around to actually finishing it I promise)

So, with that in mind I made this, using some symbols that were found readily available on r/dndnext, as well as the DnD wiki page. All together I think it came out really nice for something I just pieced together on a whim. I've printed it out, and plan to grab the supplies to finish the book this weekend, so look forward to seeing the finished product! If you end up using this in any of your own nerdy endeavours I'd love to see what you make!

Symbols included are:

- twelve phases of the moon surrounding it all, I just liked how it looked with the rest.

- Three symbols of the Goddess Mystra in the large black circles. Being the mother of all magic in the DnD world it seemed fitting that her power would be called on for something like this.

- symbols in the smaller circles that represent death, life, and balance (or evil, good, and neutrality if you prefer)

- symbols for the Feywild, Shadowfell, and Prime Material Planes that can be found here

- symbols for the 8 schools of magic most commonly used in DnD, which were found here I modified the one for Necromancy, only because in the end it just looked like an unfinished circle and stood out a lot...

- and geometric representations of the constellations used in the fantasy zodiac homebrew found here

Thanks for looking!
