The Mage Book is a consumable item which grants the user a Skill beyond their maximum number of Skill slots, lasting until the end of the game, unless a mush uses 
Transfer which erases all the human abilities on both bodies involved.
While displaying the same Public log messages as any other "Book", even when read, they are not to be confused with Manuals, which are not single-use, free to read, and merely provide tips about certain tasks.
|
Since Mage Books are single-use, rare items, they are particularly precious and should not be used lightly! It is highly advisable to discuss with the rest of the crew before using one. |
