The Kardosian Fragments

Over the centuries, copies of portions of each book have been made, but these copies lacked any of the original artifacts' powers. The result is the Kardosian Fragments, a potent item that, while only a shadow of the power of the original, remains as dangerous as it is useful.

The Kardosian Fragments isn't a spellbook, but it does contain extensive notes on several spells that can be referenced to Learn a Spell. When used in this way, the cost of learning the spell is ignored, as the fragments themselves fulfill this need through remnants of arcane magic that still linger within. The spells that can be learned include false vitality, invoke spirits, summon undead, vampiric exsanguination, and vampiric feast.

If the Kardosian Fragments are referenced as part of any attempt to Recall Knowledge on subjects associated with its contents, it grants a +3 item bonus to the skill check.
