Arcanus Infinium (3.5e Equipment)
Arcanus Infinium[edit]
The Arcanus Infinium is a compilation of seven books. These books were created by a long-lost civilization, and were composed with the knowledge of the true nature of the world and its elements. To possess one of the Arcanus Infinium is to possess the element itself, and to possess all seven is fabled to allow the user to govern the laws of the world as they see fit.
While each Infinium is different, they do share certain rules. The first is that there can only be one owner of a book at a time, and the bond is only broken if the owner dies. The second is each Infinium comes with it's own caster level, which is equal to half your character level. The third is you can only use the caster level you gain from the Infinium to cast the evocation spells that it grants you.
