Velameestra's Spellbook

Velameestra's spellbook is an incredibly thick, leather-bound tome that is completely encrypted in her own personal runic code. It has clear indicators of age, as she received it from her uncle Rhonin when she was fairly young—before she even entered the Kirin Tor.

She spent time enchanting it to so that it's completely immune to water or fire damage.

Spells

The full contents of Velameestra's spellbook are kept a closely guarded secret, though some spells can be easily identified by using certain trademarks of the spells that she uses. This is, by no means, a cumulative list.
