Barpo kabalto!
The Spy practicing magic

The Spellbook Magazine is a default action item for all classes. It is represented by a worn, vintage issue of Casters Quarterly.

With this item equipped in the Action slot, it enables the user to cast spells. The player's hand emits colorful sparkles in the loadout view, and the player can pick up and cast magic spells. When a player joins a server hosting a Halloween map that has magic spells without a spellbook equipped, a notification is displayed, allowing the player to equip it or decline the notice by the using the keys given in the notification (default keys: J for accepting and K for declining). The notification reappears after respawning until a spellbook is equipped, the server changes to a map without spells, or the player leaves the server.

This item was originally granted to players who launched Team Fortress 2 anytime during the Scream Fortress 2013 or Scream Fortress 2014 Halloween events.
