You create a sound or an image of an object near to you that lasts for a scene. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.
If you create an image of an object - such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest - it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube.

- Darkvision: You can see twice as far in dim light.
- You can move twice during your turn.
- Proficiency in Constitution saving throws

Restore Life: You return a dead creature you touch with the transmuter’s stone to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature’s soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 strike of health.

- You can erase anything you write with the quill if you wave the feather over the text.
This quill disappears if you create another one or if you die.

2nd-level wizard feature
Using specially prepared inks and ancient incantations passed down by your wizardly order, you have awakened an arcane sentience within your spellbook.
While you are holding the book, it grants you the following benefits:
- When you cast a spell, you can temporarily replace its damage type with a type that appears in any spell in your spellbook.
- Each spell in your spellbook can now be cast twice per day.
If necessary, you can replace the book while resting by using your Wizardly Quill to write arcane sigils in a blank book or a magic spellbook. At the end of the rest, your spellbook’s consciousness is summoned into the new book, which the consciousness transforms into your spellbook, along with all its spells. The old spellbook is destroyed if it still exists.
Manifest Mind
6th-level wizard feature
You can conjure forth the mind of your Awakened Spellbook. As a free action while the book is on your person, you can cause the mind to manifest as a tiny spectral object, hovering in an unoccupied space of your choice within a far (60ft) distance. The spectral mind is intangible and doesn’t occupy its space, and it sheds dim light in a 10-foot radius. It looks like a ghostly tome, a cascade of text, or a scholar from the past (your choice).
While manifested, the spectral mind can hear and see (including 60ft in the dark.) The mind can telepathically share with you what it sees and hears.
Whenever you cast a spell on your turn, you can cast it as if you were in the spectral mind’s space, instead of your own, using its senses.
The spectral mind takes it turn during your turn. It can only move and telepathically speak. It can pass through creatures but not objects.
The spectral mind stops manifesting if it is ever more than 300 feet away from you, if the Awakened Spellbook is destroyed, if you die, or if you dismiss it.
Once you conjure the mind, you can’t do so again until the next day, unless you take spellburn to conjure it again.

One with the Word
14th-level wizard feature
While the the Awakened Spellbook is on your person, you gain a boon to magical mystery tasks.
Once per day, if you take damage while your spellbook’s mind is manifested, you can prevent all of that damage to you by dismissing the spectral mind, using its magic to save yourself. Then roll 2d6. The spellbook loses a number of spells (your choice) equal to that roll, until the next day.
