Mundane
This item is a Mundane magic item, No special properties or details.

Soul Snatch

• Once per week. if a creature dies within 30ft of a creature wielding the book they can use an action to try and snatch the soul and place it within the pages of the book. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 11). On a fail they are trapped within the book.
  Targets with a wisdom score of 17 or higher automatically succeed. Attempts made on targets with no clear defined soul (Such as multiple or fractured souls) fizzle.

Commune

• Someone holding the book can commune with the souls trapped within its pages. Using an action the reader can call upon a name written in the book and the soul will manifest as how they looked when they died but translucent like a ghost.
  Closing the book makes the visage disappear.

A Journal of sorts filled with details and knowledge on soul manipulation based around Necromancy. It seems this was a normal scholars book that's been altered and edited with various types of handwriting.

Stories tell of a powerful necromancer created a book that could entrap souls long ago. What he would do with these souls is unknown but as the item allows communication perhaps he was just lonely and wanted friends. Today its unknown who or what became of the Necromancer but the book was saved by the Librarian of Fate's Weave.
