Description

By reading a spellbook, the player has a chance of learning the contained spell. Once learned from a book, the spell is available forever. Spellbooks with high level spells require some skill-level to read.

You can create widely customized spells only by adjusting the spell object in the spellbooks inventory. Refer to the description of spell objects for detailed information how to customize spells.
If you want to have a random spellbook instead, choose a <treasurelist> with a compilation of spells that the book may contain.

Attributes

Attribute	Field	Description
block view	FLAG_BLOCKSVIEW	If an item is set to block view, players (and monsters) cannot see beyond it unless they cross it or manage to stand on top.
description	obj::msg	This text may contain a nice description of the spellbook's cover or something.
elevation	obj::elevation	The elevation (height above sea level) of this tile. It is used for weather calculations and should be in the range -32000..32000. The elevation of a tile must be set in the bottom-most game object; elevation values for non-bottom-most game objects are ignored by the Crossfire server.
glow radius	obj::glow_radius	If <glow radius> is set to a value greater zero, the object appears lit up on dark maps. <glow radius> can be a value between 0 and 4, the higher, the more light does the object emit.
godgiven item	FLAG_STARTEQUIP	A godgiven item vanishes as soon as the player drops it to the ground.
identified	FLAG_IDENTIFIED	If an item is identified, the player has full knowledge about it.
image	obj::face	The image-name defines what image is displayed for this object in-game.
invisible	obj::invisible	Generally makes the object invisible. Depending on the object-type, some can be made visible by the show_invisible spell. If in doubt, test it. Putting an invisible object under the floor always prevents it from being shown.
material	obj::material	This bitmask-value informs the player of which material(s) the object consists. Material does also affect how likely the object can be destroyed by hazardous spell-effects.
name	obj::name	This is the name of the object, displayed to the player.
non-pickable	FLAG_NO_PICK	If set, the object cannot be picked up (Neither by players nor monsters).
number	obj::nrof	This value determines the number of objects in one stack (for example: 100 gold coins => "number = 100"). You should set this at least to one, for any pickable object - otherwise it won't be mergeable into a stack.
plural name	obj::name_pl	This is the plural name of the object. A plural name must be set for all items that can be picked up and collected by the player.
smooth level	obj::smoothlevel	If <smooth level> is set to a value greater zero, the object will be drawn partially over adjacent squares having a lower <smooth level> value. The value must be between 0 and 255 (inclusive); 0 means "never overlap adjacent squares".
title	obj::title	This is the object's title. Once an object is identified the title is attached to the name. Typical titles are "of Mostrai", "of xray vision" etc.
treasurelist	obj::randomitems	There are two ways to put spells into a spellbook: Put a spell object in the books inventory. In this case, treasurelist must be set to <none>. Choose a treasurelist which contains spells. In that way, a spell will be chosen randomly from the list.
unpaid	FLAG_UNPAID	An <unpaid> item cannot be used unless a player carried it over a shop mat, paying the demanded price. Setting this flag makes sense only for pickable items inside shops.
value	obj::value	Adds a certain value to the object: It will be worth that many times the default value from it's archetype (E.g. "value = 3" means three times worth the default value). Value for buying/selling will be further modified by various factors. Hence, testing values in-game is usually inevitable.
weight	obj::weight	This value defines the object's weight in grams (1000g is 1kg). Objects with zero weight are not pickable for players. Still, set the "non-pickable"-flag for explicitly non-pickable objects (hey, this is opensource.. you never know ;) ).
