Boccob's blessed book

Boccob's blessed book was a well-made and highly prized variety of spellbooks, named for the Oerthian deity Boccob.

Description
These books were quite durable and waterproof. They were bound with iron overlaid with silver and had locks. And they contained over a thousand pages.

A Boccob's blessed book was small in size, typically measuring tall,  wide, and  thick. Though some were a mere in height.

Powers
Unlike a normal spellbook, Boccob's blessed book did not require the use of costly materials to inscribe spells upon its pages.

Crafting
Creating one of these books required knowledge of how to craft wondrous items and the spell secret page.

History
At some point prior to the 14 century DR, an evil magic-user on Toril possessed one of these books and was slain in the caverns of Deepearth by demons. Years later, a group of adventurers would come across their mummified corpse and spectre, retrieving from it the Boccob's blessed book.
