Manual of the Modrossus
This legendary tome of arcane lore is the most powerful collection of spells and rituals for good ever known. Its origins are shrouded in antiquity, but it has passed through the hands of most (if not all) of Earth’s Master Mages over the millennia.
The Manual is a heavy book of ancient vellum pages covered with illuminated script in a variety of languages, many of them completely unknown to modern scholars. It is bound in deep blue leather, said to be dragon-hide, with brass cover-caps, a locking clasp, and the sign of the Modrossus—a circle inside a triangle—on the cover in brass. In spite of its apparent age, the Manual is actually far older and virtually indestructible by mortal means. Among its unusual properties is the fact that the last page of the book is always blank; there always appears to be space to write new text, and many Master Mages have added to the Manual over the years.
The Manual was lost for a time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, claimed by the Cult of Kar’Kradas after the untimely death of Master Mage Violet Pennyworth. Adrian Eldrich later reclaimed it from the Cult’s vile clutches, and it now resides in a warded vault in his sanctum in Freedom City.
