Tomes

Tomes (本, Tōmuzu) are large, magically infused books utilized by wizards in battle, written by powerful mages and other magical scholars for the purpose of expanding magical knowledge in Earthland.

Overview
Tomes are books infused with different elemental magics, allowing user's to wield and utilize these magics at will, similar to a magically charged Lacrima. The pages of the tomes themselves are filled with spells holders can utilize, these spells often being written by powerful mages and wizard scholars who have devoted their lives to writing these large books. While these tomes can indeed be utilized in battle, their original purpose being to further the magical knowledge of mages all over the world, each spell being accompanied by said spells history and a list well known user's from the past. A several page table of contents found at the beginning of the tomes help wielders quickly locate spells. Any damage caused to these tomes renders them completely useless, leaving the wielder defenseless. Damage caused during a wielder's casting of a spell will result in said spell backfiring on the user. This is the risk user's take when wielding these items. This item is best utilized alongside Gale-force reading glasses to make for quicker reading and casting. In a safe place such as a library, tomes can last upwards of four to five hundred years before degrading. However, constant usage on the battlefield causes these tomes to degrade rapidly, only lasting a few months to a year at best.
