Gwelldar's Tome of the Jack Were-son (Level 10 Universalist) Value 9,000gp

Blood, dirt, wine, and more stain this white leather book. The owner’s name, Gwelldar, is stamped into the cover in peeling gold, yet no more information about the author is immediately evident. Several of the pages contain careful diagrams, illustrations, and maps. A dozen pages are music sheets from a bygone orchestra while the final page is a prayer to V.A, With the A layered over the V, appearing as a variation of an X to those with less religious knowledge. Some of the pages of this tome are of a different type of paper than the majority of pages.  

A standard spellbook includes all cantrips from the Core Rulebook except those in the wizard’s oppositional schools. Books containing cantrips from additional sources are noted in the content description.

When a spellcaster who prepares spells uses a spellbook or formula book with a preparation ritual, as long as he prepares at least three spells (not including cantrips) he gains a temporary boon granted by the ritual. The boon lasts until its effect is spent (as specified by the boon description) or the spellcaster prepares spells again (at which time it can be reapplied by preparing at least three spells from the book). A spellcaster can only take the effect of one preparation ritual when she prepares spells, no matter how many spellbooks with preparation rituals she uses to prepare spells.

Mastering the Orchestra Music opens these Bardic Masterpieces

Life Budding In Salted Earth (Sing, String, Wind)

This delicate tune suggests the determined sprouting of seedlings through barren, rocky soil.

Prerequisites: Perform (sing), Perform (string), or Perform (wind) 4 ranks.

Cost: Feat or 3rd-level bard spell known.

Effect: This masterpiece grants all allies within 30 feet fast healing 1 for as long as the bard maintains the performance. He may increase the cost per round of the performance up to a total number equal to half his bard level to increase the fast healing by 1 for each additional round expended.

Use: 1 bardic performance round per round, plus 1 or more additional uses per round to increase the duration of this effect.

Action: 1 standard action.

 

Symphony of the Elysian Heart (Keyboard, Wind)

You spark notes of joy and freedom in your listeners.

Prerequisite: Perform (keyboard) or Perform (wind) 7 ranks.

Cost: Feat or 3rd-level bard spell known.

Effect: The complex arpeggios in this piece follow each other so quickly that the music can sound jumbled and disjointed at first. As the piece progresses, however, distinct phrases emerge, creating a wild but harmonious piece that inspires feelings of unfettered freedom. You and up to one ally per bard level within 30 feet who can hear you can move and attack normally for the duration of your performance, even if under the influence of magic that usually impedes movement. This effect is identical to that of freedom of movement, except that this masterpiece does not allow subjects to move and attack normally while underwater unless these creatures would already be able to do so, and only lasts as long as you continue the performance.

Use: 1 bardic performance round per round.

Action: 1 round.
