About Spellbooks

Spellbooks come in two types:

• Item spellbooks are used as regular items and can pe picked up by any unit that has an inventory and used by any unit that possesses mana.
  
• Unit spell books are abilities that are permanently attached to a specific unit.

To create an item spellbook:

1. Copy the existing spellbook item and spell book ability in the WE Object Editor and paste them as custom items/abilities.
2. Edit the following field values for the spell book ability: Data Minimum / Maximum Spells: These values should always be the same.
3. Edit the field value Data - Spell List to add spells.
4. Note- to possess more than one spellbook each one must have a unique Data - Base Order ID: change your custom ability to something else in that field.

To create a custom spell book ability:

1. Copy the existing spell book ability in the WE Object Editor and paste it as a custom ability.
2. Change the field value Stats - Item Ability to "true."
3. As above, keep the fields: Data Minimum / Maximum Spells identical.
4. As above, create a unique Data - Base Order ID
5. Also as above, add spells to the Data - Spell List field.
6. Add the newly created custom ability to the unit that you wish to posess the spell book.

Note well: If any Hero Abilities are added to a spellbook item or ability you must change the field value Stats - Hero Ability to "False" for each custom ability that is added to the spellbook.
