Books. A practical, if antiquated invention. Maybe you'll find the solutions to your life's problems within. In any case, reading won't do you any harm.

Mage books are the perfect example of neuro-cryptic literature. They allow knowledge to be instilled in any spirit, regardless of how unencumbered by intellectual baggage it may be. Unfortunately, their high degree of entropy causes them to be immediately destroyed after the knowledge is implanted.

Each Mage Book has a randomly-selected skill assigned to it, visible by hovering over the item. Reading the book will consume it, giving the reader the assigned skill.

Since Mage Books are single-use, rare items, they are particularly precious and should not be used lightly! It is highly advisable to discuss with the rest of the crew before using one.

New Actions

2  Read causes the character performing the action to permanently gain the selected skill.

• The skill is assigned to an extra slot (meaning the character will have a total of 4 skills).
• Each crewmate can only read one Mage Book per game.
• If the crewmate is later involved in a Transfer, the new skill is erased forever.
