Recipe tome behavior

Format: use tome blueprint

A tome of recipes holds blueprints so you do not have to. Use the tome on a blueprint -- or the blueprint on the tome -- and the sheet is bound into the book for good.

Bound blueprints still count: craft reads them straight out of the tome, so carrying the book is the same as carrying every sheet in it. The world knows it too, and stops dropping you a blueprint your tome already holds.

READING IT

Format: use tome

Opens the whole book at once: every blueprint, grouped by craft and sorted by level. The columns are the level you need, the blueprint, what it makes, and the craft level it asks for. A level you have not reached yet is dimmed. A long list comes in pages as long as your config lines setting. Looking at the tome reminds you how to read its index. A click on a blueprint name, or craft show with its number, opens its card, even when the tome lies on the floor.

Format: craft filter craft

Hides a craft from the tome and from the bare craft list, or shows it again. craft filter all brings everything back. The craft names under the list do the same with a click.

Format: use tome mithril

Only the blueprints that mention that word -- a metal, a tool, a product. Careful: if a loose blueprint in your inventory answers to that word, it gets bound instead.

THE SMALL PRINT The first person to bind a blueprint owns the tome. Nobody else can carry it: hand it over and it lands on the floor, and from there the Lost and Found bureau will hold it for its owner. Nothing bound into a tome ever comes back out.

It cannot be sacrificed. It CAN be sold -- and a sold tome takes every blueprint in it with it. Think before you hand your library to a shopkeeper.
