Bearer gains 1 magic level and can draw 1 extra spell card. He may swap spells before the game, and may take spells from any race's deck.

The Book of Ashur may not be used in combination with the War Crown of Saphery or the Book of Nagash.

Note that this item has a special rule designed for campaign play. In normal play this works as follows. Test at the end of each game to determine if the character is affected. If he is, then the character (together with any mount/chariot he rides) counts as slain for purposes of victory points. In addition, you may not use the magic item thereafter when you play the same opponent. The item can be reintroduced, but only if your opponent agrees.
