The Book of Scrolls

Even to the accomplished wizard, this fairly ordinary leather-bound book appears to be a small spellbook.

However, identify reveals the unusual book’s true purpose. When discovered, the book contains 3d10 pages of randomly determined 1st through 3rd level spells. Each spell occupies one page per level, just as if it were in a spellbook.

Unlike a normal spellbook, the spellcaster quickly realizes that the book’s spells cannot be transcribed into her spellbook or memorized. However, placing a blank piece of parchment, vellum or paper upon one of the pages and closing the book begins the magical transformation. Over the course of the next eight hours, the book transcribes the corresponding spell onto the blank page. The spell disappears from the book and appears on the previously blank page, creating a scroll. The book’s usage is restricted to arcane spellcasters.
