4.0

This is a fascinating book with collections of spells from history spanning the entire globe. By looking at each spell, it's components and what is is seeking to cure/fix/banish it provides a fascinating insight into those cultures and time periods. The introduction is well-laid out and you really get a sense of how magic has evolved over time for various peoples and religions/practices.
