The tome of power is written in Sanskrit. It is an old book bound in perpetually dusty and slightly faded black leather that is as large as some of the largest modern coffee table books and almost three inches thick, with silver edges on the pages. On the spine, in tarnished silver letters, the title reads The Tome of Power. Also, everything except the introduction is written in a series of increasingly complex ciphers. Despite the apparent age of the cover, the pages are new and supple.
