Thanks so much for the review! I really appreciate it.
Also, to answer you question about the Book of Prayer, the downside to the Book of Prayer is that it’s inconsistent but you have to use it. If you don’t, you can take damage or even instantly die. It kind of blurs the line between blessing and curse.
So because of that, it can’t be something you can just get rid of. Otherwise, you could just throw it away if it gets to be too much trouble.
Plus, I really like the idea of a cursed item being something you can’t just throw away. It takes a ritual or spell to prevent it from appearing again. And the scholar won’t do that until you make it worth their while.
