Weapon design contest winners is out!

[Rowde]

That's actually a great point on the pallette and lack of page flip & rip. I retract my statement about that not being feasible on a scroll if it isn't feasible on a paint pallette.

The crystal popping out would be totally cute and a total visual change on the books, while still being a book.

the 87 dungeon drop weapons for sch and smn both kinda sorta have this

while sheathed it still looks like a book but there is a large metal object in the center of a hollow frame
while drawn the metal object floats above the top center of the book

furthermore the pages are invisible from the front of the book
so when the camera is facing the front of the character you see through the book frame and can clearly see the character
the pages are only visible when the camera is behind or the side of the character
