Add the following tomes to the list in Rule 2.7.1:

Consequences:Decrease the Thirst of the Student who cast this spell by 2.

“if e had either” doesn’t now make any sense, but I shouldn’t think that matters.

Also, I think the consequences of Drink the Book should include a reduction of the number of copies by 1, and the circumstances should include a provision that stops the same Student drinking more than one book.  If the Rule passes, I’ll try and remember to propose an amendment.
