Book Buddies are magically altered sorcerer rune books or alchemy recipe tomes. Additionally, the script can be added to existing recipe and rune books via certificate.

Book

Analyze

You analyze your leather tome and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

************************
This tome is one of the Book Buddies!  It currently has FLAMINGO style messaging.

Your Book Buddy can be animated using TOUCH.  When it is animated, use SNAP to have it land on a bookstand alongside you.  (moves to inventory alongside).  SNAP again to animate it then TOUCH to return it to normal form.  When animated you can PROD it to toggle ambient messaging on or off.

Any merchant who is comfortable handling your Book Buddy is free to do regular base and long alterations. It can be a book, tome, grimoire, magnum opus, opus, volume, manual, textbook, booklet, codex, compendium, lexicon, folio, or enchiridion.

Only a special EG merchant can make changes to custom fields 1 - 5.  They must make sense for the style.  The current custom settings are:

  1 = "long legs"  -  Limbs. wings/legs/arms etc.
  2 = "marches"  -  Movement. moves/flies/walks etc.
  3 = "a bookstand"  -  Bookstand. Full 15/15/15.
  4 = "pages"  -  Pages. Can have an adjective. Must be some sort of paper, vellum, etc.
  5 = "marching"  -  Movement ending in -ing. moving/flying/running etc.

************************

You get no sense of whether or not the tome may be further lightened.

Illusion Styles

Different illusion styles can be added to existing books via a certificate. TURN is used to choose the desired illusion. RAISE is used to change the book into a Book Buddy.

Preexisting books come off the shelf in the avian style. Changing the illusion style of a predesigned book requires a merchant.

Currently, there are six available styles of illusion. These include:

A purple glitter-coated codex flying around with its feathery wings finds an air current and begins to glide within it for a long moment, its pages rippling in the breeze.  As the gale fades, the codex dips down before flapping its feathery wings back to its previous height.

  5 = "marching"  -  Movement ending in -ing. moving/flying/running etc.

Ambients

Majestic in its movement, the tome uses its long legs to move across the room at a steady glide.  The leather tome fans its pages, creating a mesmerizing display of grandiose beauty.  The tome lifts one leg up, points it straight back, and with a graceful swoop of its leg does a backflip to land on a single leg.  Pleased with itself, it moves back to stand at your side, still fanning its pages leisurely.

The leather tome fans its pages in mock disdain, the quiet fluttering of the parchments shifting back and forth, all while standing perfectly upon a single, pale pink leg.  A small fleck of dust flits through the air and lands between two pages, which causes the tome to go into a fit.  It prances around, shaking its pages wildly.  It comes to a halt and goes back to its statuesque posture, ignoring the fit.

The leather tome curls its long legs back and sits on the ground, its pages and cover standing vertically.  A brisk breeze blows through the area and knocks the tome over.  Its pages flail around while fragments of parchment fly until the leather tome finally is able to get situated and stands back up, regal as ever.
