This is filled with a wealth of fun and interesting spells, my players have really enjoyed being given new spells. If you're looking for new spell to add to your game, for the price you really can't go wrong with this.

I love to reward my players by doling out spells and scrolls for magic they've never seen in a WotC supplement. The downside is that a lot of the magic supplements are either redundant with the PHB, or poorly executed. This supplement has neither of those problems.

These spells are highly creative and put a smile on my face just to read. For instance: Constellation Message allows a sufficiently powerful caster to alter the night sky itself with an illusion. What a great way to send a message over vast distances! But surely other sages would notice, too...

Other spells, like Wink, seem like such natural spells to exist that you'd think they'd have been in the PHB.

Really great stuff here, and worth your money!

These spells are amazing. I'm only on letter F and there are already at least a dozen spells I'll be incorporating into current campaigns. The RP value is high here; Evard's Expulsion, for example, is a cantrip that forces away enemies that have gotten too close. Or, in the situation in which I'll be using it, a hermit wizard does it on anyone who comes near him in an arcane version of "Get off my lawn!" In other instances, a spell that requires an expensive material component that gets consumed, such as Alter Form (which uses a gem encrusted mirror to permanently alter a creature's appearance) creates a delightful recipe for an enchanted item that one of my parties may find.

It starts with a handy list of spells by class and level. Most of the spells are of the combat variety, but the number of utility spells is impressive. I particularly enjoy the various movement spells, like ChronoStep and Displace. Bowgentle's Fleeting Journey allows the conjurer to teleport to a space they can see or have been to at least once, but only for a minute. Just reading that spell's description gave me the idea for a kidnapped arcanist who managed to grab his pendulum before being spirited away - now he pops in on his friends' and relatives' homes and establishiments, trying to get someone to come save him.

Of course, the combat / damage spells are inspiring as well. The author describes one of the reasons for doing this spellbook is because of a lack of diversity in spell damage types in the standard list of spells. I believe he has expanded that list quite dramatically in terms of damage type and delivery mechanism. Examples: Crystalbreath paralyzes enemies within a crystalline structure, while Corrosive Slime creates a geyser of black slime dealing acid damage around a creature within 60 feet.

I'm excited to see what other treats this handy tome holds. Thank you, Mr. Weighill!

P.S. How can I not give 5 stars to a book that has as its last line of text, "Additionally, for the duration, dead snakes rain from the sky"?
