I bought this as part of a larger set. For myself, I may not care as much about 'arcane spell components' or I might have a different understanding than the creator of this pdf. This is an idea generator for a game that can be used by both players and dungeon masters. This pdf takes a common place item and expands the possibilities inherent in that item. For that I am grateful, and really enjoyed the pdf!

Unlike other Dozen book series, this one is the least recommended from my point of view. Some downsides:

• Has very little to none narrative that inspires creativity and the "objects" (not spell components) are very generic and common (i.e. a torch)
• It attempts to be system agnostic but it is strongly D&D
• Out of 5 paragraphs in average for each idea, 4 of them is meant to be rule-mechanics, only one parragraph is narrative
• I was expecting Spell Components, but this is not about components, it is about mechanical effects for crafting items?

Overall the focus is a bit blurry on this one, as it tries to go agnostic and mechanichs loose yet most of it is concrete percentage amounts or 1d6+1 durations or 2d6s damages. It should either decide to be a mechanichs book or a fluff book, but not both, imho! as it achieves none.

Artwork and presentation are amazing like usual.
