Tome of Magic
Encyclopedia
The title was reused for a 3.5 (Revised) Edition supplement published in 2006. The new Tome of Magic is devoted to new forms and styles of magic as a path to power. These new paths are embodied in three new alternate base classes.

The book is arranged into three sections, one for each of the new character classes and their unique take on magic.
  • Binder - Allows extra-planar souls to share his body and thus gains power. The vestiges names and seals are, for the most part, copies of the names of demons and their seals.
  • Shadowcaster - Manipulates shadow plane energy to create a variety of effects.
  • Truenamer - Caster that utilizes the power of truenames to create a variety of effects. This class has been criticized somewhat for being excessively skill dependent and thus not scaling well with increased level.


Each chapter includes several feats, prestige classes and monsters associated with that flavor of magic.
