Having attempted to read the first book you have been blasted by all the knowledge ever written down. Whilst this is too much for any one brain to comprehend you can occasionally look into the maelstrom to divine some knowledge useful to your current situation.

Once per adventure you can attempt to recall some information which may be useful to your current situation. Doing so may get you relevant information if it was at some point written down. You will have trouble communicating with those who are not so enlightened however and for this and the next encounter you will be unable to communicate , by talking or writing , in a comprehensible manner.

Your brain is however slightly out of your control. Every time you read anything you will have violent flashbacks to the event and take a 30 second rend as you lie insensate on the floor.
