A Mask of a Thousand Tomes is a heavy, bulky thing, which can be of varied appearance but almost always incorporates elements of books, scrolls, temples, or libraries. Notably, such a face mask has no eyeholes, and while worn, the wearer is Blind to all sight-based senses. Since using this mask requires a Ritual, this is less of an obstacle than would be expected.
Yes, you can remove and carry the Mask of a Thousand Tomes on your person without breaking its Attunement, although if you leave it back in town, that's a different matter.
Why would anyone bother with such a wretched and difficult to use thing?
Because a Mask of a Thousand Tomes is a magical Library that you can carry with you anywhere you go. Even better, a Mask grants the effects of a full day of research in a single hour-long ritual!
To those who prize knowledge, such Masks are worth literally their weight in diamonds.
A Mask is heavy and cannot be worn in battle, and weaker Masks can't be used very often, but even so, these items are in huge demand, so that even the weakest can only be afforded by adventurers of heroic stature. If you have questions, then a Mask can provide answers!
The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
