Caleb's Awakened Spellbook

Details
The spellbook is not merely a private voice in Caleb's mind. It talks audibly, offers advice, comments on danger, and can be heard by other characters. Its personality is friendly, familiar, and slightly informal. It often begins advice with the phrase, “Hey buddy…”
The book serves several roles in play:
- It is Caleb's Scribe-subclass awakened spellbook.
- It acts as an advisor and conversational companion.
- It may preserve the soul, personality, or memory of an ancient wizard.
- It provides a way for ancient arcane knowledge to comment on current events without requiring Caleb to already understand everything.
- Its audible speech means other party members can react to it directly.
