DIY Magic Tomes
This passage is a 10-sentence summary of an opinion piece about DIY magic tomes as tools in modern fantasy game design that promote access to magical spells, not just academic and wealthy elites who hoard it behind paywalls or leather spellbooks few can afford. The author calls these cheap and easily printable library copies "Tomes" rather than traditional arcane text books with sigils on them; he suggests using this zine as a DIY tool for creating magic in modern fantasy settings, potentially even making pocket-sized tomes out of printer paper that hold spells or runes from the libraries.
