'''A leather book''' (aka 'rune book') is a special tome used by [[sorcerer]]s to record the [[arcane language key (planar shift)|runic representation]] of the unique magical pattern of each particular area. Once entered into the book, these patterns can be [[DRAW (verb)|drawn]] once again to be used as targets of [[Planar Shifting]].

* Each book has ten pages, each page capable of storing twenty patterns (200 total entries).
* One must be [[Rune book#Bonding to a Book|bonded]] to the book to record patterns within. Once a book has been un-bonded, it can no longer record new patterns.
* Sorcerers can ''draw'' patterns from any book regardless of bonding status.

=== Obtaining a Book ===

These books can be purchased at a town's alchemist supplier, costing roughly 2,000 [[silver]] (may vary depending upon [[trading]] modifiers). Books may be customized at their time of purchase. [[ORDER (verb)|Ordering]] "a leather book" then adding option 13 would create "an orange leather book." It takes several minutes for the merchant to complete custom orders. The following options are available for customization:

=== Bonding to a Book ===

Sorcerers must bond with their books before patterns can be recorded within. Only the sorcerer bonded to a particular book can record patterns into it. Only one book can be bonded to at a time. To bond a book, bring it to the [[summoning chamber]] of a nearby [[Sorcerer Guild]]. A [[latticed yellow crystal]] is located there, which must be rubbed while holding the book in hand.

* While holding the book, RUB CRYSTAL to bond.

=== Recording and Erasing Patterns ===

Rooms which can be teleported into each possess a unique pattern of magical flows. Sorcerers can [[SENSE (verb)|sense]] these patterns, and copy them into their books. Patterns are expressed as a series of ancient runes, and color-coded to represent the [[realm]] of [[Elanith]] which they occupy. Executing a successful sense will copy the pattern to the first available space on the page which the book is currently open to. To remove a pattern, use tap and poke to select the desired pattern. The use rub to remove it.

* While holding the book, SENSE PATTERN to record the patterns of the magical flows of a room. If a room cannot be a target of Planar Shifting, you will receive messaging to that effect.

=== Drawing Patterns ===

In order to properly execute a [[Planar Shift]], both a [[summoning circle]] and pattern targeting a specific location must be in place. First draw a summoning circle, then draw a pattern. Once both outlines are in place, you may then cast the magic at the circle.

* Holding the book in your right hand, and appropriate chalk in the left, DRAW PATTERN {#}.
