Wondrous item, legendary

This thick leather-bound volume has a desiccated tongue pinned to the front cover. Five of these tomes
exist, and it's unknown which one is the original.

The grisly cover decoration on the first tome of the
stilled tongue once belonged to a treacherous former
servant of the lich-god Vecna, keeper of secrets.

The tongues pinned to the covers of the four copies came
from other spellcasters who crossed Vecna. The first
few pages of each tome are filled with indecipherable scrawls.The remaining pages are blank and pristine.

If you can attune to this item, you can use it as a spellbook and an arcane focus. In addition, while
holding the tome, you can use a bonus action to cast
a spell you have written in this tome, without
expending a spell slot or using any verbal or somatic
components.

Once used, this property of the tome
can't be used again until the next dawn.

While attuned to the book, you can remove the
tongue from the book's cover. If you do so, all spells
written in the book are permanently erased.

This specific tome belongs to Szass Tam, leader of
the Red Wizards of Thay.

He watches anyone using
this tome and can also write cryptic messages in the
book. These messages appear at midnight and fade
away after they are read.
