The Book of Magecraft

Published: 1996 by TSR
Author: Carrie A. Bebris

Magic permeates the very air, earth, and sea of Cerilia - yet escapes the mastery of all but a rare few. Those who control the continent's magical energy can call upon forces incomprehensible to the rest of its inhabitants. These powerful figures are Cerilia's wizards: adventurers, advisers, and kings whose spells can affect the destinies of thousands.

This 128-page book contains everything players and Dungeon Masters need to make wizard characters more distinctive, mysterious, feared, and true to the BIRTHRIGHT setting. Inside are details on:

  • The secrets of sources and ley lines.
  • Strategies for building and maintaining a magical domain.
  • Spells unique to Cerilia, including new conventional spells, realm spells, and war magic.
  • Cerilian magical items and Mount Deismaar artifacts.
  • The status, philosophy, and role of wizards in each of Cerilia's spellcasting cultures.
  • The unique magician character class and the study of magic in Cerilia.
  • Near-mythical creatures said to grant boons to wizards fortunate enough to encounter them.

Warriors, priests, and rogues beware: The wizards of Cerilia have come to power!
