Whoops! Posted an incomplete update!
KyleThe drill sergeant scratches the stubble on his head, "My condolences. I know what it's like to lose a whole squad of good men and women. These demons are right bastards... Anyway, if you're not interested in sparring practice, I don't really have any more need of you. It's getting late and you might want to head down to the barracks for some food."
Alicia"{A BESTIARY OF DEMONIC CREATURES}" The golem makes a dinging sound and the book's title lights up in its head. "{JUST A MOMENT}"
The golem lifts off the ground and begins to hover, surrounded by some sort of magical field, and you now notice it has no legs. It flies high above you to the top of one of the towering bookshelves, and pulls a book from the row, landing back down in its original position. "{ENJOY YOUR BOOK} {MADAM} {PLEASE RETURN IT WITHIN A FORTNIGHT} {REMEMBER} {LATE FEES ARE EXPENSIVE}" Its head shows a coinpurse emptying before switching to an image of your face with a frown crudely drawn over it. Creepy, in a way...
The book details several different species of demons, as well as a multitude of subtypes. The book is mostly informational, and has sketches of the various demons for reference.
Reading this book takes a move action.
Upon reading the book, you will have one use of its effect to use as a free action at any time. You cannot stack uses.

A middle-aged woman in bright blue robes enters the library and sits down at a table as the golem approaches her. "{GREETINGS} {LADY} {ARWETH} {WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU TODAY?}"
She speaks in a hoarse voice, and looks tired, like she hasn't slept in days,
"Get me that treatise on spacial tunneling.""{A TREATISE OF SPACIAL TUNNELING}" The golem makes the same dinging noise again and hovers over to a lower shelf, coming back down again to hand her the rather thick book. "{ENJOY YOUR BOOK} {LADY} {ARWETH} {PLEASE RETURN IT WITHIN A FORTNIGHT} {REMEMBER} {LATE F-"
"Yea, yea. Late fees are expensive. Just gimme the damn book."DuncanYou walk down to the fancier part of town, finally wandering into a big marble library, where you find one of the people you arrived with, the scaly one named Alicia, and a tired looking woman in blue robes. The tired one looks to be a wizard, or at least one in training. Spider confirms the presence of magic, but it could honestly just be all the interference from the city. The whole place is covered in the stuff.
