Compendium Arcanum

Vol. 1

A collection of spells and magical effects.

Deep in the old kingdom stands the ruined tower of Telezar, a powerful mage of old. Telezar's lifes work was the creation of new spells. By studying the energies which seep out of the Void, he learned to manipulate matter in the physical plane and to shape the world around him.

His name fell into myth following his death, and as the tower crumbled over the centuries, so too did the book. It's pages were scattered on the winds across the world to be found by adventurers and the spells learned once more.

When an adventure finds one of Telezar's pages, roll d12 to determine what is on it.
