Books

Books are a new class of tool sold by the Ghostwriter for 5. Each is (usually) themed around a specific boss and are only sold upon its defeat, providing an infinite buff themed around that boss when used. Only one buff from a book can be active at a time unless the Reading Glasses or Spectral Lenses are equipped, which allow two or three simultaneously, respectively (except for the Strange Obituary, which does not count as a book buff for these purposes). Additionally, some books' titles reference various well-known real-life novels and book series, which are noted on their individual pages. All books are of the rarity and sell for 1.
