Each day a creature is within your pages lose 1 point off their maximum HP. If this reaches zero they are consumed and unable to be returned and their spirit passes on. You may instead choose to feed this creature, costing you the Creaturs Tier in hitpoints from your book form each day.

Tier 6	Book of Monsters Full Round Action You may summon monsters out of your pages. You may summon either a single solo monster of a Tier 4 levels or lower below yours; or two group monsters of the same tie. You may add an additional two group monsters for each tier below the maximum you can summon. Examples If you are Tier 6, you may summon either one Tier 2 Solo monster, 4 Tier 2 Group Monsters, or Six Tier 3 Group monsters. As this ability has the potential to drastically slow down play it is highly advised that make yourself awarer of the sats and abilities of the creatures you intend to summon before the game starts. Asking your DM to do this for you may put you in danger!	Or	Liebray Warning! Taking this feature removes your ablity to use your humanoid avatar. Ascend beyond your pages! Your original Book From becomes a metaphysical being allowing you to take hold of any book within your vicinity. As a bonus action, you may possess any book your spectral form comes into contact with, healing you fully. When a book you are in is destroyed your spirit is ejected. Alternatively, you may do manually using a bonus action. Each time you leave a book you lose one maximum hp from your book form. If this reaches zero your character is destroyed entirely and leaves no remains. Hitpoints lost this way heal at a rate of one per day. While in your spectral form you gain 100ft. of spectral flight. While in this form you may take no action other than movement or taking or possession a book. You may still be captured in your spectral form and may be in danger from certain creatures, spell or abilities. Your spectral form shares your book forms stats and hp. Taking this ability prevents you from using your humanoid avatar. This feature massively increases the amount of damage you can take, giving a Bhook with 30 max hp and effective maximum hitpoints of 465! It also makes most executions against you much less effective. However, you may still be in danger in your spectral form.
