Contents
The 64-page book includes a one-page foreword and introduction by Ed Greenwood, where he explains that this is a book of new spells and magic items, and that some of the content therein previously appeared in the Pages From The Mages series of articles in Dragon Magazine. Page 3, by Steve Perrin, is titled "How To Use This Book", and explains how the book can be useful to both Dungeon Masters and players. Pages 4-29 detail a number of magical books of the Realms, each of which has its own unique properties and contains a number of spells; pages 28-29 explain a little better about the spells of the Forgotten Realms and contains a chart of spells by spell level, name, spell school, and which spellbook they may be found in. Pages 30-61 detail a variety of magic items unique to the Realms, including magic armor, clothing, miscellaneous magic items, potions, rings, rods, staves, and wands, unique swords, and other weapons. Pages 62-64 detail various methods by which characters may create magic items. The book's inside front cover contains a table for randomly determining magical treasure found in this book, and the inside back cover details saving throws involved in creating magical items.
