Appearance: Details of the appearance
of the Workbook are unknown,
but it is said to be a bound volume with
no inscriptions on the covers.

History and Description: Once in
the elven city of Myth Drannor there
was a school of magic. Its teachers were
known as the Seven Wizards, and
included the one known only as Mentor.
Its founding and objectives are forgotten,
for Myth Drannor has long been
a ruin, and the Seven Wizards disappeared
even before Myth Drannor's
destruction.

Many of the mages whose names are
now known all across the Realms were
tutored at the Wizards' school, and it is
common knowledge that Mentor
caused spells of his pupils' devising to
be collected in a book, once he had tested
and approved their dweomercraft.
Accounts of the Workbook's contents
vary; it is quite possible that more than
one such book was collected, although
the existence of only this one book is
certain.

The sage Flamsterd, of the Moonshae
Isles, purchased the tome known as
The Wizards' Workbook from a band of
adventurers, and carefully copied its
contents. He later sold the secrets of
several of the Workbook's spells for
very great sums of wealth, and purchased
the entire island that now bears
his name. His enjoyment of the isle was
short. It is thought that one of his clients
guessed what the sage possessed,
for one night the sage and his entire
Tower, on the seaward end of the isle,
simply vanished. Others believe the
sage came to grief while practicing his
magic. Still others hold that he left this
plane of existence.

No sudden rise in power was noted
among those of the Art, however, and it
is thought that the Workbook may have
been lost or destroyed. Installments of
Flamsterd's personal diaries, the Moonshae
Chronicles, were sent regularly
from the sage's isle to his friend Elminster,
and in one was set down the entire
text of the Workbook. The purchased
records of individual spells still exist, of
course, scattered throughout the
Realms. It is from Elminster's library
that we learn the spells below; the
present contents of the Workbook may
well vary slightly. Dismind is thought by
some to be the work of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun, and by others to be the
work of Mentor himself. The other
spells bear the names of their creators.
