Cody approached the spellbook and crouched down, looking it over. He winced at the marks in the cover made by Lulu's razorlike teeth, and noted with distress the now frayed quality of the page edges. "Still, as long as it's unharmed inside, that's the important part," he reassured himself. To his side, Lulu lost interest in the ragged corpse of the lichen, dropping it in order to explore the rest of the chamber.
If you are a Wizard, you will be warned before trying to read an uncursed spellbook that may be too difficult for you to understand.
