For Mr Pib or another reader more skilled with formatting than I; is it possible to change the font of the text of the book on this page, and give the text a background colour like that of old yellowed paper or parchment? An old fashioned font would be good. If this is possible I might remove the italicisation and only italicise the spells and magic items.
