With a snap of your fingers, a dusty handbook appears in hand.

Duration up to 5 rounds

By reading the summoned book of knowledge, a bard may gain a cumulative circumstance bonus on the knowledge check of his choice. For every round spend reading, the bard earns a +1 bonus up to half his caster level (max +5). To everyone except the caster, the magical lettering inside the book appears to be incoherent babbling. The visual of the book changes based on the bard's preferences and what he is wishing to research.
