Abyssal Scion

Grimoire of Dark Reflections (Fabled)

This formidable magical tome has pages of blackened leather (skin?) upon which symbols and text appear glistening red, like freshly spilled blood...but when turned in the light they also shimmer foil-like.

If you are Evil, this tome can be used as a spellcasting focus.

This tome can only be destroyed by being dropped into a Sphere of Annhilation, or by the will of a Greater God of Magic. When not attuned to, it appears to be blank and all attempts to write in it or deface its pages fail.

Attuned Abilities

Powerful Spells. If you are Evil and attuned to this tome, symbols are enscribed within it representing each cantrip you know and spell you have prepared that requires an attack roll or forces a saving throw, one per page. There are magically exactly enough pages to hold these symbols.

When you use this tome as the spellcasting focus to cast a spell with a corresponding symbol within it that requires an attack roll, you gain +1 to hit and damage.

Fabled Ability

Dark Reflections. Once per Dusk, if you are Evil you can meditate while reading the tome for 1 hour to swap one of your prepared spells for another spell on your spell list. Additionally, once per Dusk you can reroll a failed Concentration save.

Improved Powerful Spells. When you use this tome as the spellcasting focus to cast a spell with a corresponding symbol within it that forces a saving throw, the save DC is increased by 1.

Dark Secrets. If you are Evil, you can open the tome and select a spell from the Wizard, Cleric, or Druid spell list of a level that you have an available spell slot for, and the tome will turn to that spell within itself. That spell is considered to be prepared by you while it is in the tome. The spell vanishes from the tome if you use this ability again to pick a different spell.

Dark Font. Once per Dusk, if you are Evil you can meditate for 1 minute to recover one or more spell slots with a combined level of 9 or less.
