Chrysogon's scroll codices were introduced by GameMaster Keios at the Talador Baronial Coronation Festival, part of Cross Into Shadows in 2014. Codices may be unlocked by Xerria on Mist Harbor, but only one per quarter. Locked codices hold 10 scrolls, unlocked ones hold 20.

The codices can be used with any scroll found in the treasure system, as well as with folios, leafs, sheets, cards, notes, and posters. They cannot be used with any scroll regardless of noun that does not have a 15/15/15 base description.

ANALYZE (unlocked codex)

You analyze your plum leather codex and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:

The plum leather codex is designed to hold scroll-type objects when pushed, and the scrolls can be retrieved
when pulled. In addition, the codex can be searched for specific spells on scrolls using FLIP.
Example: flip codex <spell mnemonic> or flip codex <spell number>
The codex's noun may be freely altered as long as it stays some sort of open/closable book or binder-type
object as the item references covers and pages.
NOTE: The codex's first 15/15/15 field will change as scrolls are added/removed, so any alterations to the
first 15 will disappear.
The codex may have a long description or show.
The codex has been unlocked.

You can tell that the codex is as light as it can get and that its pockets could not possibly get any deeper.
