You analyze your jewel-inlaid tome and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This item is a Thaumaturge Tome. It can be altered, but it must remain a tome, folio, ledger, or some other type of book. It has the following capabilities:

RAISE: makes the tome come alive and attack for you. Can only be activated if the tome contains at least 5 anima. PUT: places a scroll in the tome, consuming it for anima (max 250). Uses syntax PUT {SCROLL} IN {TOME}. TELL: select zest verbs from the following list, with syntax TELL {TOME} TO UNLOCK {VERB}.

ATTEND, FLIP, GAZE, HUG, LICK, PEER, POKE, PONDER, RUB, SQUINT, SMELL, TAP, THUMP, and TURN.

The combat actions occur automatically if an enemy is present, the tome is flying via RAISE, and the tome has ANIMA.
