The Book of Enchantments

Probably the best known artifact in Bandagora. It is believed to be a sort of spell book encompassing all existing spells. If a mage developed a spell somewhere, that spell would appear in the Book. The Book was discovered in the 5th century before the common calendar by Karkar. Practically all human knowledge of wizardry stems from it. Men knew magic before they discovered the Book, but they would never have been able to develop it further. The dominance of Kartria can also be attributed to the Book. It disappeared from Kartria in 549, but at that time the study of magic had gained a momentum of its own. Theories of the Book's whereabouts abound. The two most common claim that the Book is among the elves (some say drow) or that Hecate has reclaimed it, respectively.
