We'll start by creating a mod that doesn't actually do anything. To do that, go to Caves of Qud's "offline mods" folder; you can find the location of this folder for your operating system by looking at the page of [[file locations]]. Inside this folder (it should be named <code>Mods</code>), create a folder called <code>Snapjaw-Mages</code>. The first file we're going to create for our mod will be a '''''manifest file'''''; this contains metadata such as our mod's title, a description of the mod, and its version. Create a file called <code>manifest.json</code> inside the <code>Snapjaw-Mages/</code> folder, and paste in the following contents:

The base <code>Snapjaw</code> creature that we're inheriting from has really low stats, so we're going to bump up our mage's stats a little.

Now when you spawn one of your mages, you should find that they already have their magical tomes equipped (and they should start using them against you!).

* Through the use of <code>DynamicInheritsTable</code>. These tables include all objects that inherit from another object. This inheritance doesn't need to be direct -- for example, even though {{favilink|shrewd baboon}} doesn't inherit from <code>Creature</code> (it inherits from <code>Baboon</code>), it would still fall under the dynamic inherits table for <code>Creature</code> since <code>Baboon</code> inherits from <code>BaseApe</code>, which in turn inherits from <code>Humanoid</code>, and which finally inherits from <code>Creature</code>.
