Description

Morgenstern's Spellbook is a book of 60 original new spells. It was first conceived as a random treasure item in a short campaign I ran in 2009. It contains a few quirky spells of dubious utility, reflecting the unstable mental state of Morgenstern when he compiled it. But, it also contains some quite useful spells; some of which expand on old themes, and some of which explore more novel uses of magic.

WHAT IS MORGENSTERN’S SPELLBOOK?

...Four volumes bound in leather and secured with a belt, Morgenstern’s Spellbook comprises his thoughts and research notes interspersed with pages of spells. Not all pages are used, and the brittle paper has broken away in places or become stained and ruined with time and alchemical spills. This particular reprinting represents the bulk of the decipherable spells from the four volumes. The notes on magic and Morgenstern’s personal thoughts are not reprinted here, as they are muddled and difficult to comprehend. What can be made out often dissembles into ravings against various luminaries of his time, or the idiocy of the arcane community in general.

WHO WAS MORGENSTERN?

Rasmus Morgenstern was a rival of those great names of wizardry that adorn every young mage’s standard spellbook. A misfit and outcast consumed with jealousy of the wizards whose works were praised above his own, he spent much of his time researching spells to outdo those that have become the stale standards of today. Straddling the line between genius and madness, Morgenstern quickly fell into the trap of one-upmanship with mixed results — even though his rivals barely knew he existed. Unfortunately, he danced back and forth across that proverbial line, and as a result, some of the spells collected herein, though always interesting, are sometimes of dubious utility.
