Pretty fun so far. Limited arsenal that doesn't actually feel limited is difficult to pull off, but you did. And here's some thoughts.
-I'd like an option to have to press something to switch tomes, since on some more slaughtery maps I find myself cycling through multiple tomes during a fire fight just because of dodging.
-Swamp tome seems most situational, since the poison clouds self damage, and I wound up ditching it as quick as possible whenever I got it.
-Candy tome has good Wand and Card, but I don't really like its rabbit alt. Rings are take it or leave it.
-Triple Tome is real nice, but is hell on ammo. Feels like a good balance point though.
-Classic Tome doesn't really stand out, but I do wish that you started with it, since random chance off shotgunners means some mapsets are surprisingly stingy with tomes.
-Safety tome and Quick Tome kinda feel bland, never really felt like they were all that useful, and really only noticed them when I picked them up mid fire fight and had my rhythm thrown off from whatever I had been planning to use.
-Armor sprites on the left of the hud are a nice touch, gives some personality. Kinda wish the greying of skin when you take damage was a slightly darker shade though, make it a little more obvious.
-Wand seems to have the best alts regardless of tome, which is nice for your main workhorse weapon.
-Cards hit hard enough, but feel a little clunky at first because of how slow they are.
-Rabbit out of Hat has a good primary, but since it has the most different alts, is somewhat jarring to use, especially combined with aforementioned rapid switch on more slaughtery maps.
-Portal Rings are nice, but I feel like most of the alts are a little slow off the mark. Still useful, but a lot more situational than wand and card alts.

Can i pickup tomes with the use button? If there is loots of shotgunners - altfire is rapidly change.

[CherubCorps]

No. It's intentional that the tomes are instantly picked up. Doing so would destroy the gameplay loop because people would find a tome they like and then never switch. Constantly switching tomes and being in situations where you have no choice but to switch tomes is a huge part of mod.

The next update will have two new tomes and will take some time (Unless more major bugs are discovered). Thank you for playing and reporting bugs. It makes a huge difference.

[Shatter-Thought[V-4]]

This has been a very fun and unique mod to enjoy, tons of fun!

I would like to suggest an update change for letting a player lock down a tome so they don't switch out. In crowded areas with tons of enemies it's impossible to control what you keep, so I think it would be nice to lock in your selection.

It could keep you from picking up additional tomes (And thus keeping you from picking up their ammo).
