Possible Variations

Lesser Tomes

It is possible to find a copy of the Tome that does not contain all Spells, a relatively common Tome is one that specifically excludes the "Catjouring" spell, as that is the spell that the general public sees as "worrysome". Tomes that do not contain "Catjouring" have a Rarity of "Rare" only, and will always be "Epic" otherwise, no matter if it contains the other two spells or not.

Scrolls

Each spell can also individually found on Scrolls throughout the world. "Cattalk" is of "Common" Rarity, "Catcall" is of "Uncommon" Rarity and "Catjouring" is of "Rare" Rarity.

History

Originally created by researching summoning spells in general, one wizard had a especially particular interest in a certain animal and perfected the spells for summoning cats first before applying his research results to the spells of other animals. Unfortunately though, while testing the potency of his spells, he summoned so many cats that he never found any time (or energy) to actually finish the other spells, and so, what was originally intended to become the "Tome of Faunamancy", became only a "Tome of Nekomancy". His last words were "I have no regrets".

The creation of these spells were so intricate that no one has yet been able to finish his work, and unfortunately all his Knowledge went with conjouring the cats, which outlived him. That means even when asked during his lifetime, he was unable to teach anyone how to continue, as he himself had no clue anymore.
