Books

Overview
Books are a special kind of item in Axioms. They are stored in buildings and contain knowledge that can be studied to improve characters. Books can be moved, copied, and made available to other characters besides the owner. Books store a variety of information including Magic, Technology, Knowledge, and History.

Characters must educate themselves to gain skills and knowledge and this consumes part of their time for a turn. Characters can also study with other characters to gain knowledge. This is faster and can transfer unwritten knowledge but it consumes time for two, or more, characters.

Books are part of a set of items/objects that can be discovered in ruins or hidden rooms.
