Grimoire Puns

He was contracted to work on the Grimoire Anthology in the same timeframe as the employees that IGN spoke to for their article so he wanted to compound and corroborate the stories and voices in their article. Please go watch it. It's just as important to hear about experiences from non-Bungie employees as it Bungie employees.

I wanted to keep a record for myself of the species, weapons, magic/spells, gods, history, locations of the stuff that appears on my story. For now, I have a Bestiary and a Grimoire for Beasts and Magic/Spells respectively. But I wanted to do a few more, but I don't know if a book for those categories has a specific name? Could anybody help me out?

What would be the name for books that talk about these topics:

• For Artifacts/Weapons/Tools?
• For Curses?
• For Blessings? (I have the gods giving out powers every now and then. Like curses but generally good for the afflicted.)
• For Local History of a specific Continent or Country?
• For all the Gods?

Edit: Woah. I'm having trouble keeping up with replying but I'm reading all of them. Definitely, you all helped me out a lot. Thanks for everything, really.

Asta's grimoire is also apparently Licht's grimoire and at the end of the anime we find it out it was also his mother's who sealed Liebe inside it. Does that mean it belonged to Licht and she found it 500 years later? And if she sealed Liebe after, does that mean there was no devil in the grimoire when Licht was using it? What?

I just want to wish this wholesome community a Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

Even though I’m not as active as I sometimes wish that I would be, I follow you guys every day and really enjoy and appreciate all that this community offers. And so, in the name of prosperity, festivities to come and all that yada yada, how do you all celebrate this one holiday?

I for one have been at my mother’s as always, being stuffed and filled to the brim with food, drinks and emotions, waiting to soon spend this day’s last stamina in a Dark Orb dungeon.

What is the true difference between a grimoire and a book of shadows? Is it that BOS is embedded into Wiccan history? At face value, that seems like its the only difference. The contents of the book seem to be the same. Or is it not? Any advice?

...and I am obsessed. I downloaded Evernote after seeing it recommended here around this time last year. I was hesitant to switch over because I really do love putting pen to paper and having a physical book, BUT, I always get so wrapped up in the layout/appearance of things and I was sick of it feeling like a daunting process whenever I went to write in it because my mind works faster than my nice handwriting haha.

Moving to an Evernote grimoire has been fantastic because:

• I can definitely type as fast as I think
• I can copy and paste references easily, quickly make tables, and input photos
• I can add multiple tags to organize topics, ie.) 'mediumship' 'tarot' 'herbs' 'spells' 'year-end review' etc, and then easily access my notes by viewing a particular tag or group of tags - freakin' game changer

My practice has noticeably improved since making the switch and now if I want to compile a physical Book of Shadows, I can turn that into a fun project where I take the time to piece it together with the level of care and intention I want, page by page, at my own pace.

I wish I could remember whose post it was that finally convinced me to try this out but kudos to all of you who have shared this tip! I wanted to reiterate it and throw my review in for anyone who might currently be humming and hawing over this decision too.

Brightest blessings for this numerically new year, witches 🖤✨

[thoughts my own, not at all endorsed or sponsored by Evernote, have used the free version all year]

Edit: I'm sure there are other fabulous e-journal options out there, I just named Evernote because it was the first one I downloaded and it ended up suiting my needs perfectly. Feel free to post about any other apps or programs that you use for your electronic grimoire!

In the final pages (page 150 - 154) of grimoire anthology volume IV there seems to be the script of a deleted cutscene that seems like it was meant to be played after uldren was killed.

I'm wondering if it's inclusion into the book makes the deleted scene canon again, and if so what are the significance of the cayde-6 spectre and the hive warship (I don't remember a hive warship in the dreaming city)

There are also some inconsistencies with current lore, one of them being that there's a black hole in the sky. If I remember correctly only the distributary orbits a black hole and the dreaming city does not.

I do think having this scene in game would have made mara's descent into her current more erratic behaviour than we are used to from her more gradual and more pleasing storywise.

What do you guys think this scene's inclusion into the grimoire anthology means?

So a few years ago I got into witchcraft and made a grimoire of spells that I used and everything was great. Now, though, after learning a lot more, I kind of cringe at how naive I was. I also attracted a trickster spirit to my energy using the spells I wrote down, so the whole book is just associated with cringe and negative energy.

But I feel like if I just throw it away that would be bad news, right? I don't really know for sure but I want to be extra careful in disposing of it, especially after dealing with that trickster. How can I get rid of it without worrying about anything bad happening to me?

Bungie is giving people from Ebook access part of the "Gifts of Gjallardays" on the Bungie Store. You access it here with a PDF or ePUB download: https://bungiestore.com/gifts-of-gjallardays-day-2

Enjoy!

So apparently, in one of Tabata's interviews, he said that grimoire are books that are made of mana

So if this is the case, Anti-magic can only cancel magic power「魔力 maryoku」and magic「魔法 Mahō」but not mana since you know, Asta's grimoire and anti-magic. But for some reason Anti-magic can affect spirits, and spirits are made of mana, which is pretty weird if you think about it. (or spirits are made of magic power, this is just too confusing)

As the title says, do you write yours like a journal or do you have sections for each category? For example do you have a chapter for spells then another for herbs etc or do you just write what comes to you as you go along learning?

Or do you perhaps have a book for each topic. One for herbs. One for spells. And so on.

So I managed to get every event correct for acquiring the grimoire abroad as Esthil, however my ruler is now 50 yrs old and there have been no further events surrounding their pursuit of lichdom. I have waited quite a while and all I get is my ruler dying of old age eventually and the future heirs having no experience in Necromancy to gain Legendary status to begin lichdom. That first ruler I had which acquired the grimoire has the knowledge to attain legendary status but never achieves the rank in time until their eventual death. Is this quest bugged or am I missing something? I've read that people let their ruler cast a certain spell that is unrelated to necromancy in order to trigger it.

Any help is appreciated!

He'd definitely be an Arcane stage still, Imagine if he could make things with mana smaller, similar but unlike his mother's. If he could control it on large scales it would be so op. But that power doesn't suit Asta's character, so I'm curious. If he were to have magic what would it be? and what color would his grimoire glow? would he have a four-leaf?

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had information on having a cast circle ready to go in your grimoire? I'm currently making my own book and thought it might be nice as I have a very small place to work with. I don't like to leave an alter out daily and don't have much space to put a big circle on a table or anything. Could having the circle in the book, on 1 or 2 pages with different things glued in for the elements like feathers or dirt or whatever, still be used in spells when you want to cast a circle? This would be a great space saver and keep everything still in the broom closet but not sure if it would work.

Any ideas?

Gjallardays Day 2 gift is Destiny Grimoire Anthology Volume IV Digital Edition! You can download it as pdf or epub. I don't know is this a one day only gift or not, so go get it while you can!

According to Amazon, Destiny Grimoire Anthology Volume IV Physical Edition is just released 10 days ago on Amazon.com and has not been released on Bungie Store yet.

Many authors of books that I read about modernized grimoire-based magick are also initiates of OTO and A.A. Is this just coincidence, or is there actually a somewhat high percentage of people who do both?

tl;dr: Play Store page

I've been a fan of incremental games for years now. The first great game I played was Realm Grinder, which is a favourite around here. I liked the way it told a story and I could make choices, and those choices would make a vast difference to my success. I liked that I had to plan and strategise to hit new milestones and grab achievements that would boost me up and open new possibilities. For me, these features are crucial to my enjoyment and I can't get on board with the majority of incrementals I find on the Play store, which are all flash but entirely linear. Since I found myself digging for those indie gems, I decided I should try to make one.

I've had two goals in mind while I've worked on Grimoire:

• Tell a story of unearthing ancient magic and grappling to understand and wield it.
• Offer that exciting mechanic of branching upgrade choices that multiply and combine in interesting and novel ways.

I've tried really hard to capture the challenge of branching choices without making it overkill, which I unfortunately feel Realm Grinder did toward the end. I want to give the player the tools to make informed choices, and so I'm up front about the effects of things and I have help text in the game that explains how effects combine - I want to provide information in my game, and not just an unfeeling wall of numbers! At the same time, I want to surprise the player with new mechanics and so a lot of my game is initially hidden away and unlocks as you progress and your character learns more. I've tried to balance the complexity against the effort required to play - ever feel like you're hammering out a sequence on a control panel, over and over?

I'm really proud of some of the unique mechanics and effects in Grimoire. I particularly like the way purchasing Artifacts works, and I think the Alchemist legacy (achievement) is a great example of the sort of thing I want to do more often.

I come from a background of over a decade of professional development experience and I've loved putting together my own software from scratch, and it's so exciting to see it as a real thing on the Play store. It isn't terribly pretty, but for me as a player that doesn't matter. I've tried to tackle pet peeves like values and buttons not updating in real-time, or apps that heat my phone up when running, and I've largely done this through liberal application of the observer pat

Welcome to Max the Min Monday! The post series where we take some of Paizo’s weakest, most poorly optimized options for first edition and see what the best things we can do with them are using 1st party Pathfinder materials!

What happened last time? Last week we left behind the options that players can voluntarily take and talked of optimizing the GM induced corruptions. We discussed ways to prevent the "become an NPC" clause of corruptions, from using manacles on a lycanthrope corrupted PC during the full moon or being straight up immune to lycanthropy with the Lunar mystery, purposefully knocking out a PC with the Psychometabolic corruption after they fail a save, having good allies to talk you down from continuing the Accursed corruption, having an intimidating build ally who can scare the ghost out of you for the Possessed corruption, taking levels in Agent of the Grave if you get the Lich corruption, using greater gift of consumption on any of the fortitude saving throw corruptions, and finally cyclops helm on anything any of them at all. And we also discussed some specific gift / stain combos that become a net positive, such as Lycanthrope's altered form on melee builds, Amoral's Clandestine Meetings gift being quite powerful in campaigns with a lot of evil outsiders since it forces them to barter with you rather than just immediately attack, and more. If you find that your gm has started using corruption rules, last week's thread is worth taking a look at.

This Week’s Challenge

Edit: so there was a huge faq that made this more of a Min, and I didn’t know it existed until after everything and practically all posts were written. The book isn’t an improvised weapon. Yuck.

Edit 2: actually wording isn’t clear. Might still work. Basically though this archetype can be a lot worse depending on your gm’s reading.

The inquisitive u/Snatinn wanted to tap into the living grimoire of Pathfinder knowledge which is the subreddit hive mind to optimize the Living Grimoire Inquisitor. Whereas many religious zealots metaphorically browbeat those around them with the word of god, Living Grimoires literally browbeat those around them with the word of god. The archetype is all about wielding your combination spellbook and scripture tome as a weapon.

Here's the abridged summary to t
