"Cellophane is a segue - a section - and it’s awesome that people have latched onto it, because we didn’t really think of it as a song. At the time, it was quite a lot slower, but I just used this jam as a launch point to write a song around it - and it was written really easily. "I had recorded five or 10 minutes of it with one mic when we were rehearsing, and it happened to be in the same key as. It was Cook, Cavs and myself, playing this loose guitar solo/riff thing. "When we were piecing together that record, there was this one jam we recorded, and it had Cookie playing bass, and it was his riff.
The song just needed to go somewhere else and then come back. The I’m In Your Mind thing was first, and it did really feel like it needed to go to some other place. “Of the four tracks of that suite, this was the last one to come together. From a guitarist’s perspective, Cellophane remains one of the most memorable songs in the band’s catalogue to date. Hmmm.The third part of a seamless four- song suite, this track from 2014’s swampy I’m In Your Mind Fuzz finds Stu frantically riffing on top of a propulsive, krautrock-inspired beat. You've inspired me to make a wizard (or pact of the chain warlock or ritual caster) who has an oral "spellbook" with physical mnemonic made of quipu or wampum or something. The more I think about it, the more I really like these ideas! It's consistent with the craftiness described for lizardfolk, and can use materials that hearken back to their homeland, even when adventuring takes them far away. Of these, the options made from animal hide, papyrus, and shells make the most sense for typical lizardfolk, but quipu could work with access to good animal or plant fiber jute and cattail, for example, produce spinnable fibers and grow in swamps.

Not a full writing system in that they don't record words and sentences, they were enough to be used by the Inca to record information like taxes, the census, and manage a centralized economy. Quipu store information on collections of knotted strings based on the color of the string and the location and type of knots. Wampum belts are similar in not being writing, but carry symbols, patterns, and mnemonics You could learn spells from other oral-tradition wizards as well as by reading them off other spellbooks and spell scrolls.Īncient Mesopotamian-style fired clay tabletsĪncient Egyptian-style papyrus scrolls (papyrus is a reed that grows in swamps, after all) *South and Southeast Asian-style palm leaf manuscriptsĪnimal hide paintings that aren't a writing system per se, but might include meaningful symbols and serve as a memory aid in storytelling or other recitation "Adding a spell to your spellbook" corresponds to spending the time to memorize the spell. Oral tradition: spells are memorized and the full form is recited or chanted like long epic poems or songs.
Here are another couple ideas for spellbook alternatives that might make sense within a lizardfolk culture (whether the magic is adapted from other races or more indigenous): Others have posted lots of good suggestions about how a lizardfolk might have learned wizardry from members of other races. What spell list do you want to cast? I feel like that's the most important question, followed by what other abilities do you want? Mechanics are locked in, but how those mechanics manifest is totally up to you and your DM.
