Rick Donner was searching for any "magical" items on Ebay. He liked to collect this stuff. He seemed to find stuff that had a good chance of actually being magical. Unfortunately he didn't know how they worked so they just sat around. Today he came across a spell book that seemed to call to him. He saw that the auction was just about over so he quickly placed his bid. To his surprise he won the auction with a bid of thirty bucks. Now he just had to wait for it to arrive.
Two weeks later Rick was sitting in his apartment trying to figure out how he was going to pay his bills. He had lost his job and had been denied unemployment. What was worse was someone had broken into his apartment and taken nearly everything. He had to find another job soon or he was going to be out on the street. Well maybe not out on the street since his friend Anna Shef had offered to put him up if he needed it. Maybe he should take the offer. Her daughter Kayla really liked him. Anna had a good paying job and a nice house. She insists that he wouldn't make an impact on her finances.
The intercom buzzed breaking through Rick's thoughts. He went over and pushed the button saying, "Hello."
"UPS," a male voice said. "I have a delivery for Richard Donner."
"Bring it on up," Rick said buzzing the man in.
A few minutes later Rick had the package. Opening it he found the book he had won. He had forgotten about it with all that had happened. Opening the book he found that it was written in a strange language but he understood it. Finding a protection spell for objects he decided to place it on the book. According to the description if anyone stole it or used it without his permission they would be punished. What form that punishment took it didn't say. After he placed the protection spell on the book he started looking through it more.
Looking through the book Rick discovered that it had a lot of different spells in it. There were weather control spells, illusion spells, death spells, reanimation spells, animal transformation spells, demon summoning spells, human transformation spells, inanimate object spells, inanimate object animation spells, and others. Now he just had to figure out what he wanted to do with the book.
