Carandolana would never use it the way Xander's mentor did. I wonder what level
that mentor was...

"A valid point. Or, out of respect to Xander's ethical qualms about such
spells, perhaps a nobody book. But, if it is to be used, certainly only us."

If Xander hears Sean's musing, "First, you need to go over my first level
spells and learn what you can, then study this book and get a second chance at
any that you wanted and fail at."

That is Elmore's assumption as well. These books do not appear to have
deteriorated like the spell books on the table.

Okay, so her stay got extended by three weeks. But she still wants the
book checked out for what the magic is on it, though she's suspecting a
preserve spell of unusual duration. (PSUD)

If Xander studies it for 15 days, uninterrupted, he will gain a
percentage to learn any spell. Most likely, you would want to use Hagar's tower
in Aarell and obtain a guard or two to keep the hoi polloi out.
The charm text would work for druids, given the same 15-day
requirement. Hagar might run out of money by that time to make payroll.

Xander perks up at Elmore's find, "Thank you! I was wanting to go

easier!"
Xander will be spending his spare time and ship time studying that
book.

If it works for druids too, Carandolana takes Charm Person or

Elmore would bring the book The Clavis or Key to Magic by
Peterson to Xander and ask his perusal, maybe even read it in depth, stating
Elmore's hope or belief that it might be of benefit to our favorite mage.
Xander did not seem to like Charm Person and other mind robbing
spells as his master abused the power and tossed his charmed victims aside when
he was done with them. Elmore's own former guardsman hasn't had that experience
though. Unsure off the top of my head if clerics have spells that charm might
be of benefit to. Wally however might benefit from them after checking with the
group. The Clavis book seemed like a no brainer and wouldn't likely require
consultation with group.

As Elmore goes through the books, the following:
Elminster’s guide to the dread planes and shadowfell -
probably valuable to the correct collector or sage
The Complete Guide to Undead Creatures by Bob Curran -
worth something, but less than the above.
The Lesser Key of Solomon by Joseph H. Peterson -
probably valuable to the correct collector or sage
The Grimorium Verum in the original elvish with notes
by Ethelbert Athlebertson worth a couple gold, not much information here -
The Clavis or Key to the Magic by Joseph H. Peterson -
study by a mage might increase their ability to learn spells.
Making new friends: A beginners guide - It is not a
necromantic tomb, study would give a plus to charm abilities.
