Item description:
-------------------------------------------------
This book is a small volume roughly hand-sized.  It tells the story of a
Prince Justin, who quested throughout the land to discover the sources of
magic.  His realm was weak in manaflows, and Justin wished to increase
magic in his realm.  Justin finally arrived in a strange forest, and after
being attacked by a number of creatures and despairing of finding help, he
stumbled on a strange house made of cheese.  Inside this house lived a wise
creature that called itself a book worm.  The book worm listened to
Justin's problem, and explained how this strange forest, which had once
been known as the Land of Magic had become instead the refuge of a mad
druid.  The book worm told Justin that he had several books that might help
him, but that the worm was tired, and would show them to him in the
morning.  Justin, growing impatient in the night, fell from his high
ideals, stole a likely book, and fled into the forest.  When he had almost
reached the exit of the strange forest, he decided to look at the book.  As
he read about one strange transformation after another, he grew more and
more interested, unable to stop reading the insidious book.  At the end,
was a blank page, but as he read words formed upon it.  And so, Justin, a
prince, stole me and took me into  the forest to read, but as he read he
felt his feet growing rooted to the ground, his skin hardening and swelling
to take on the form of bark, and his entire aspect becoming that of a tree.
 Justin dropped the book, and stands there to this day.  The book  worm
came, retrieved his book, sadly looked up at Justin, and murmured, "Well at
least you found powerful magic," and went home to its house.
