Manual of Quickness of Action: The heavy covers and metal bindings of
this compilation will not distinguish it from any of scores of semi-valuable,
non-magical texts. This work contains certain secret formulae and
prescriptions for unguents and exercises which enable a single reader to
assimilate the text (3 days of uninterrupted study) and then practice the
skills detailed therein. If this practice is faithfully done for 1 month, the
character will gain 1 point of dexterity. While the manual’ will disappear
immediately after reading, the contents will be remembered for 3 months
(although the reader will not be able to articulate or otherwise record the
information he or she retains). Only after the month of training will the
dexterity bonus be gained. Further perusal of a similar text will not add
further to the same character’s dexterity.
