Special Ability[]

The Poet's special ability is Tome. Before it can be used, the Poet must "equip" a spellbook. This is done by using a spellbook normally as if to learn a spell, but selecting the spellbook itself instead. Only one spellbook may be equipped at a time, and equipping a new spellbook will destroy any other spellbook that is already equipped. One must be wary of Rats as they may steal an equipped spellbook if the kid is not holding an item.

Once equipped, the spellbook now hovers slightly behind the Poet and can be used to attack via the special ability key. Each spellbook has unique effects when used this way. Upon reaching the Wordsmith subclass, an equipped spellbook gains a charge attack in addition to the default effect. These effects include:
