Alex ends up with the whip and comes in, but the beast gets her as well. He gets overpowered by the beast and throws the whip outside the Bowl. Justin wants to prove to Chase that he is no amateur. At the Beast Bowl, Justin and Max dress up like clowns. From that perspective, anything could work, I totally agree with the people who have said using things like bones or tattoos, and I once heard about a guy whose "wand" was a gun and his "spellbook" was a bandolier of bullets, and that's when I realized this game was so ridiculously open ended that anything could and would happen.When Mason ignores Alex's invitation to the Beast Bowl so he can work on an anniversary gift, Alex decides to go anyway and she meets a boy named Chase. My reasoning is that a "spellbook" is just a visual explanation of how a spell works that a wizard understands how to reverse engineer into using magic. I made a gnome wizard named Kleknac, and his "spellbook" is a series of metal disks that increase in size depending on the spell level, and to inscribe the spell he engraves the disks with increasingly elaborate symbols and icons, and embeds certain gems and choice metals into them so as to accommodate the pricing of adding a spell instead of the arcane ink and paper. You've inspired me to make a wizard (or pact of the chain warlock or ritual caster) who has an oral "spellbook" with physical mnemonic made of quipu or wampum or something. The more I think about it, the more I really like these ideas! It's consistent with the craftiness described for lizardfolk, and can use materials that hearken back to their homeland, even when adventuring takes them far away. Of these, the options made from animal hide, papyrus, and shells make the most sense for typical lizardfolk, but quipu could work with access to good animal or plant fiber jute and cattail, for example, produce spinnable fibers and grow in swamps. Not a full writing system in that they don't record words and sentences, they were enough to be used by the Inca to record information like taxes, the census, and manage a centralized economy. Quipu store information on collections of knotted strings based on the color of the string and the location and type of knots.Wampum belts are similar in not being writing, but carry symbols, patterns, and mnemonics.
