Now, that's an underrated spell! There is a separate thread on those.

Every time you turn a page, the game selects one of the 8 pages at random. So, theoretically, you could get screwed into the Burning Hands page on your first try, or you might be able to go on turning pages until hell freezes over and always have more pages left--as long as you never hit Burning Hands, that is.

Understand that non-Wizards can use the book as well. So a Paladin can be bashing on foes halfway and take out the book to summon a Wyern by his side.

Wow, I never got "True Seeing"

In my game with a Sorcerer protagonist, it's almost worth flipping to that page and dropping Keldorn from my party (Sorcerer will have the great "Dispel Magic" and anybody would have "True Seeing"!).

I just kept the stupid thing in the bag of holding. Its what I get for always playing mages. Maybe I should try it now that I am in TOB.

ShadowKeeper lists the following spells in the book:
  • Fireball
  • Invisibility
  • Protection from Evil
  • True Seeing
  • Farsight
  • Spell Turning
  • Wyvern Call
  • Stinking Cloud
  • Lightning Bolt
  • Burning Hands
That's a list of 10, not 8.

EDIT] Typos
