I've created a mod using this as a base. Similar to this but with a few changes. There are several craftable variations of increasing strength that unlock as you level destruction and restoration. Also changed the reduced destruction spell cost to increased destruction damage, starting at 10% for novice level up to 50% at master level. The ward effect starts at 40 and goes up to 120.

I used this book to add custom lesser Voice powers to me as I hold it and as soon as I drop it the powers leave. I was going to do it adds spells, but the whole spell learned thing was getting out of hand. thanks for this.
Hmm I'm considering retexturing it, as currently it seems to use the destruction book cover. Really though, this idea is awesome - imagining my mage follower with it is neat, but I want to customize it first.
Casters? Pfft! Here comes my Paladin! Rawr! BUBBLE HEARTH MOTHERDRAUGERS! Seriously though, this is such a novel idea from an immersion neckbeardy POV, I love it and will definitely be using it. You could have added books of varying natures that act as shields with different passive spell effects or something, or even allow pulling the trigger of that hand activating a specific spell or group of spells depending on the circumstance, longer hold will use a stronger spell or different spell, and as you hold it your character could always read it sampling less screamy Dragon tongue word sound files perhaps?
Although given you've already expressed a devout lack of interest in taking it further perhaps I just wasted those keystrokes. Perhaps you might reconsider, because with a little addition instead of 10 endorsements to near 4,000 views that could very well be a couple of thousand endorsements! Or is anyone willing to step up to the plate and take over with this gentleman's idea? Anyone?
To anyone interested in using this, I have a request.
I think that being able to occupy one of the player's hands while the spell in the other hand is boosted by the book would add a whole new gameplay element. Almost like an apprentice mage refreshing his/her memory by using a tome. It would be especially great for summoners. To whoever read this, thank you for your time.
I had a similar thought myself, i thought it would be cool to make a Grimmoire of all the scrolls in the game, draw the book like you would a bow perhaps held in left hand and draw(casting) with the other but have a choice of which spell to use from numbered fast keys i.e 1-10, set the numbers to whatever scroll you prefer. wish i had just half a brain, I'd have some idea how to do it then

Seriously, that was a great idea. Can't wait to see how people will use it.
