Oloam's on Serpentine Matters

Oloam's on Serpentine Matters was an academic magic textbook written by the Netherese arcanist Oloam.
==Contents==
The book was a study of transformative spells that conferred reptilian forms upon human spellcasters, as well as specific features such as scales and nictating membranes. It contained a wealth of information on the effects of these spells, how to modify them, drawbacks and dangers associated with them, and the results of Oloam's own personal experiments in improving them.
Much of Oloam's work was focused on ensuring that the transformations did not affect human speech and hands for somatic and verbal components. A secondary goal was the general empowerment of these transformations, such as increased crushing strength, improved control of prehensible tails, and deadlier venom that could be delivered by skin contact.
==History==
Oloam's on Serpentine Matters was considered a foundational piece of work by the arcanists of Netheril during the Age of Discovery ( onwards). Any respectable arcane library would be expected to contain a copy of it, along with other classics such as Sarturl's Study of Magical Fields, Ivrynxra's Exploration of Enchantments, Skouloond's Spell Studies, and Haerro's Veltanabula.
