Open Book
(Alteration)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Variable
Casting Time:  1 hour
Area of Effect:  Tome touched
Saving Throw:  Special

This spell may be worked upon a single, magically-sealed tome, causing the tome in question to open at the final utterance of the spell's verbal components: "Edro!". Note that a name which the book recognizes as its own must be known by the wizard in order to effect this spell. Generally speaking, a book which wants to stay shut may save versus spell at the level of its writer to avoid being opened, but special conditions may apply to this, furthermore, very special books may be equipped with more magical protection, such as the sigil of the author or powerful runes and wards. Some diamond dust must be sprinkled on the book for the spell to take effect.
