Book of the Planes (Magic Book)

As with all magical writings of this nature, the metalbound Book of the Planes appears to be an arcane, rare, but nonmagical book. It will radiate a magical aura if a detect magic spell is cast on it. Any single wizard or priest can read one chapter at a time (taking Idl2 months to assimilate the information), in total isolation, to gain knowledge about a particular plane. After the character has read a chapter as described above, he or she gains the ability to travel freely to and from that plane. Once a chapter has been read, there is a 5% chance the book disappears. This chance is cumulative, so that after three chapters have been studied, the chance of the book disappearing is 15%. Any nonmages or nonpriests attempting to read the manual must save vs. spell or go insane.
