The '''Book of Magic''', or '''Magic Book''', is an obtainable item found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and ''[[BS The Legend of Zelda]]'' which allows the [[Magical Rod]] to create flame.

The Book of Magic functions as an upgrade to the [[Magical Rod]]. Without the Book, the beam of the Magical Rod would disappear after it made contact with something. The Book of Magic changes this, causing the beam to now burst into flames after it hits something. As with [[Candle]] flames, this eruption of fire can be used to light up dark rooms or harm enemies. The Book of Magic is one of two acquirable items in the penultimate dungeon of ''The Legend of Zelda'', [[Level 8: The Lion|the Lion]]. The other is the [[Magical Key]], which is used to unlock Locked Doors an unlimited amount of times.

In the [[Second Quest]], it is found in [[Level 4 (Second Quest)|Level 4]] despite the Magical Rod being in [[Level 8 (Second Quest)|Level 8]]. If the dungeons are played in order, it is useless until the Rod is obtained.

The Book of Magic works as it did in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', upgrading the Magical Rod to create fire. In MAP1, it is found in a hidden room in [[Level 8 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 1)|Level 8]], accessed via a bombable wall to the right of the second room in the dungeon, along with eight Blue Rupees. In MAP2, it is found in a similar room in [[Level 8 (BS The Legend of Zelda MAP 2)|Level 8]], but located through a bombable wall to the right of the ''first'' room.

===''Hyrule Warriors''===
[[File:8-Bit Book of Magic - HWDE icon.png|64px|left]]
The 8-Bit Book of Magic is the 8-Bit Weapon version of [[Lana]]'s [[Book of Sorcery]]. In the Wii U version of the game, it is part of the Master Quest DLC Pack, unlocked in the Master Quest map of Adventure Mode by completing the challenge at grid A12{{Tt|bottom row, 12th from left}} with an "A" rank after using a [[Water Bomb]] on the boulder in the water. It is functionally identical to the Level 3 Sorceress Tome version of the weapon, but weapons are either 8-Bit Books of Magic or Sorceress Tomes, not both. In ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'' and ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition]]'', it is a skin for her Level 4+ Tome of the Night version of the Book of Sorcery, which can be turned on or off with a toggle in settings.

The front cover has been slightly altered to place a light pixel in the middle of the cross, obfuscating the resemblance to a religious symbol.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bible vs Book of Magic - TLOZ1 JP.png|right|frame|Famicom Disk System vs Famicom cartridge releases]]
*Not only does the Book of Magic sprite depict a cross (along with certain other items, like the [[Magical Shield]]), but the original Japanese name of the book was "Bible". In line with the general [[Nintendo of America]] policy at the time, the name was changed in the US localization to remove the religious reference, although the sprite and official art continued to show a cross. Further, the English text was changed in the cartridge re-release of ''The Legend of Zelda'' in Japan to bring the "Bible" in line with the American name, although the Japanese text was unchanged and still said Bible.
