Text

Do the dice never seem to roll in your favour? Do you always pull the wrong card at the wrong moment? Does the good Lady Luck simply never smile on you?

Some of us feel cursed by terrible luck*, but there are simple, easy steps you can take to turn your luck around! Practice these basic spells and see just how much your fate can change!

[*This guide is for those who feel like they are cursed by terrible luck. For literal curses, please seek the aid of a respected cleric.]

Foresight

Although a little difficult for beginners, Foresight can be the perfect spell to help any gambler. Look into your immediate future to see how the dice will fall, what cards will be played, or if anyone around you is about to pull a knife.

Guidance

If all you need is a subtle boost to your skills, Guidance is the spell for you! Quick and easy to deploy without drawing attention to yourself - all it takes is a word and a touch.

Fortune's Favour

Want to literally grant yourself more luck? For the small price of one white pearl, you can take the reigns from Tymora herself and decide how lucky you deserve to be.

[The book carries on listing spell after spell, filling out details and explaining how to cast them without getting caught. It ends with the following note.]
