‘Any Knave can cast spells using a spellbook. They
must use both hands to read the spellbook for it
to take effect. Once used, the text in the
spellbook disappears and cannot be used again
until the next day.
Spellburning
Sometimes when you really need it, you may
sacrifice parts of your body and/or soul to cast
more powerful spell effects. This is called
