<blockquote>6a) One of the reasons that the Avatar comes to Moonshade is in order to gain a spellbook. He is told to seek the Magister, Fedabiblio. Magister tells him that a spellbook is more than an item -- it is a part of your soul. In Moonshade, spellbooks are custom designed to suit the intended owner. The title page must be written with ink that contains a drop of the owner?s blood. (The owner must surrender one hit point to the book to give it life ? that is, take one hit of damage.) <i>Fedabiblio remarks that blood is full of powerful magical energy, though no one has yet found a way to channel that energy safely.</i></blockquote>
