Trivia

  • It is a reference to Maxwell's Notebook from Scribblenauts, which allows the player to create any object to help them solve puzzles.
  • As of the current version, there is an unused "BestiaryNotebook" image which uses this item as a base for its sprite.
    • Before version 2.4.1, there was also unused code for this feature. It placed the notebook on the Top Right of the Bestiary Portrait for the enemy, and clicking on it will let you place the enemy down in the world at no cost. The name and sprite of the image, plus this unused ability, elude to Maxwell's Notebook originally unlocking a new Bestiary feature instead of being a summoner weapon.
