Canon of Changes II (Magic Book)

This tome allows the reader to draw on the mystic Oneness of the universe to change the nature of matter to fulfill their own desires. Essentially, any nonliving object weighing up to 50 pounds can be converted into any nonliving, nonmagical object of similar mass.
If used in conjunction with the Analect of Magic (see Libram), the conversion can be done with up to 500 pounds of mass. In addition, the object may be converted into a magical weapon, armor, or shield with a bonus of up to +5, with one power based on any wizard or priest spell of up to 5th-level. Alternatively, the object could be converted into any monster of up to 10HD.
Only a being of at least 18 Constitution and 18 Wisdom can read this tome. Even for beings powerful enough to employ the tome, it requires 72 hours of constant reading before they can execute the change, and they forget everything they have learned from the tome after the transformation is completed. A being may read the tome as many times as they wish, but they lose 1 point of Constitution each time they use the knowledge gained from it.
Any being who attempts to use this tome while lacking the proper Constitution or Wisdom permanently loses 1d6 points of Constitution. This tome may not be used to alter living beings, attribute scores, or to create magic items except as described above.
