A tome of the north wind was a book that held the power of elemental ice magic.[1]
Description[]
The book was always coated in a thin layer of frost irrespective of any heat applied to it.[1] Some such tomes were said to include ancient prophecies of doom and destruction.[2]
Any given tome of the north wind contained a couple of wizard spells themed around ice and cold.[1]
Powers[]
A wizard could channel their offensive ice magic through the tome, which empowered the magic to inflict greater harm. Once per day, they could also instantly activate a spell contained within the tome.[1]
