Nostronomian textbook
Nostronomian textbook
Plural: Nostronomian textbooks
From what you can tell, this is a textbook for Nostronomian high school students. Suffice it to say their school system seems a little... advanced compared to Twilight's.
There's really only one section that makes sense to you and even that makes you feel pretty smart.

If you are an Elemental and don't already have the skill:
The chapter on humans is pretty funny, but the most interesting is probably the section on the Ion Sprite. It turns out they're a rare creature in the badlands, drawn by the scent of delicious, delicious ions. Ancient Nostronomian wizards thought they could boost their spells and used them as familiars, which doesn't sound like a half bad idea.
You have acquired a new skill: Summon Ion Sprite
If you are a Naturalist and don't already have the skill:
You learn everything you wanted to know about Nostronomian Zoology and more... so much more.
For all that they live in another dimension, their world's biology seems pretty similar to ours. That said, your school was never cool enough to let you dissect ion eels in class. Some kids have all the luck.
You have acquired a new skill: Strike of the Ion Eel
If you are a Gadgeteer and don't already have the skill:
You learn everything you wanted to know about Nostronomian Physics and more... so much more.
Nostronomian physics are from another dimension, wildly different from ours, so most of the principles don't apply in our world... but the rest could make pretty sweet inventions.
You have acquired a new skill: Ionic Bondage
If you are a Psion and don't already have the skill:
You learn everything you wanted to know about Nostronomian Psychology and more... so much more.
For all the Nostronomians possessed psychic powers and could actually communicate mind-to-mind, it sounds like they still couldn't make social interactions work. It makes you feel a little better about humanity.
You're also not sure what "Aura Ion Therapy" is, but it sounds pretty interesting.
You have acquired a new skill: Aura: Ions
If you already have the skill:
Oh, you remember this book. Man, what a trip through memory lane.
They say Nostronomian high school are the best days of your life, but you never appreciated them at the time. Mostly because you aren't Nostronomian and never went to Nostronomian high school, but the point still stands.
