Trog and magic skill training manuals

[Roderic]

First time that I stumbled on a manual of magic with a Trogite and I couldn't set it on fire. Is this the expected behaviour? Does "burning spellbooks" not apply by extension to manuals for magic training? Should do it?

Manuals are not spellbooks. Probably shouldn't be burnable, you can burn unidentified spellbooks after all.

My point is if Trog gets angry if I train some magic skill or not. After all, Trog dislikes the learning of magic by reading. Some degree of magic skill -elementary magic- works in conjunction with evocations for some items if I'm not wrong, am I?

In case Trog gets angry, the manual should burn under pray. I was afraid of reading and displeasing him so I don't know.

Are manuals identified on sight or on pickup? If they're only identified on pickup then this might, conceivably, be a minor information leak.

Only on pickup.

This idea makes no sense to me. Trog hates spells, not books. You don't get Trog piety by going to the city dump and burning all the phone books.

Damn, here goes my plan for the weekend.

What if you just tear out the sections from the yellow pages for wizards, mages, witches, sorcerers, enchanters, warlocks, necromancers, theurges, shamans, conjurers, prestidigitators, and thaumaturges, and then burn those?
