Rasa Mon's Shadowstone Grimoire
1,500 XP; 30,000 GP
Background
Rasa Mon's Shadowstone Grimoire has a cover made of Gold Dragon hide and bound with rings carved from the horn of a unicorn. The pages are carefully crafted sheets of Shadowstone etched with runes inlaid with mother of pearl. This grimoire is prominently displayed on a crystal pedestal of fine elven workmanship, itself worth 25,000 gold pieces. The Shadowstone Grimoire is a trap and was left by Rasa Mon to
protect his library from those who would plunder his collections.
Powers
The cover of the grimoire has been enchanted with a Mind Bomb spell that will transfer to the first person to touch the cover. The trigger that will set off the mind bomb is when the affected person hears the words, "another round." The mind bomb affects everyone within a 30' radius of the person who touched the grimoire.
Each of the 20 pages are inscribed with special curses that will drain a single level or Hit Dice from any who view them without special protections. This level loss is not immediately apparent unless the person affected successfully makes a Wisdom check or engages in activities that would make it apparent, such as combat or spell casting. Anyone reduced to 0 or less levels or Hit Dice will be turned into a wight under the control of Rasa Mon.
When the grimoire is first touched Rasa Mon will be notified of the intruders presence within his library. Once activated he is then able to view the intruders, by closing his eyes and concentrating, as if they were being seen through a crystal ball. Should he choose to, he can cast spells at the intruders through the grimoire.
Note
Rasa Mon can teach other wizards how to construct such a grimoire though the materials needed are rare and difficult to gather.
