Based on the premise that magic is fluid and subject to the whims of the individual caster, thus it remains always mysterious and fascinating, this book can be used on its own or as part of the Arcana Unearthed variant, from which it is an excerpt.
Publisher's blurb: "Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed is a variant players handbook containing new character classes, races, spells, feats, plus alternate rule systems for spellcasting and other game functions. This volume, the Arcana Unearthed Grimoire, collects all the new spells and the magic rules from that book. Use these spells and rules to enhance your own d20 System games. You can use everything in this book alongside the 3rd Edition or revised 3rd Edition Player's Handbook, if you wish.
"Spells in the Arcana Unearthed Grimoire are not just set, unchangeable programs, but flexible, customizable options for players. Each spell can be diminished or heightened to produce a spectrum of effects. It can be laden to hold more power. It can be woven with other spells to cast a more powerful spell. Adding spell templates can change the nature of a spell and its effects. Casters can add in new material components to change the effects."
