being sick is not particularly good for anything, especially keeping things updated. I was going to update this right after christmas, but instead we got a few days of exploring the library instead; it doesn't really do much, but I felt like adding it.
After some days, you've arrived at the conclusion that the library is enchanted with either illusion spells or theoretical physics, and possibly the librarians as well. Because there is far too many books here for your understanding of general engineering principles to allow the place not to collapse under its own weight. Regardless, you find many books relevant to your interests, none of which they'll allow someone who is a noncitizen of Dex to take out of the building without a superb reason.
Among them, Artes and Craftse of Bookineering (a manual on how to climb enchanted hill-sized bookcases without ruining the books or the sorting system),
Fire: The Exothermist's Guide (a rant on the supposedly unscholarly art of pyromancy compared to the laws of thermodynamics from another world which has an editor's note taped to the inside cover to beware the "scientist"'s madness, as he is known to cause explosions if left unattented near reagents),
Psi-Crystals, a Microthurgist's Manual (Theoretical forms of alternate cryswarm construction based on Psionics and Microthurgy, a rather unstable form of size manipulation),
Alpha Photonica (A doorsmasher of a book about photon manipulation and the theoretical sphere surrounding it),
Zonic Zenic (a book in an unknown language from the section dedicated to wave-based spheres of magic, known or theoretical),
Boom!, the --- al-he-ist's guie to q ckly dyi- (Presumably the original title finished its words properly, but the book is heavily burnt, slightly melted, and in general in very fitting condition considering its content. The back cover has been entirely replaced by an enchanted metal plate, which significantly weighs the book down),
An orange book with no title, no words, but with pages that change color daily and a warning taped to the cover to not obsess over keeping it or you shall be forcibly separated from it,
Thy Thundersploder (On the theoretical art of controlling thunder to cause explosions instead of the more conventional Aeronautist's act of striking things with lightning or the Pyromancer's outright exploding things to explode things way.),
Bob's Botanical Bombardment (On the unusual but not technically theoretical sphere of plant-based magic which includes elven druidics, though not in this particular book),
Technologic (A blunt and obsolete book now that the two schools are merged, but might be interesting for historical or fine details on the non-mechamancy side of things),
Metamagery, or the Doomsayer's self-constructing arsenal (a hysterical 100-page tirade against metamagic that would not be out of place in the more political of towns, but someone who goes on for a hundred pages probably isn't entirely stupid on the subject)
Lastly, there is Poof!, a book on various ways to stylishly (or fancily, or niftily, or otherwise noteworthily exit an area via magic). All of these books are sitting upon a table in the library; you are sitting at the table pondering which to look at first.
