Stolas's Grimoire

Stolas's Grimoire is an arcane book belonging to Stolas that was used by the I.M.P company to illegally access the living world until Stolas gifted I.M.P an Asmodean Crystal. It was gifted to Stolas by his father on his birthday over years prior to the series in the episode "The Circus".
==Description==
The grimoire has a navy blue cover with gold reflective pages separated by a dark burgundy ribbon. It also has golden borders with a large red gem on the center of its spine. The front cover is emblazoned with a moon encircling the real-life Goetic seal of Stolas, along with four stars which resemble upside down crosses.
When used, the portal glows red on the rim. However, in the episode "Loo Loo Land", it is shown for a second that the portal can be different colors such as blue, though the book was held via Stolas' telekinesis at the time, suggesting it was activated by his magic.
===Pilot===
In the Helluva Boss pilot, it had a burgundy cover with dull yellow markings and the crown symbol that is on the walls of Stolas' mansion on the front with white pages.
==History==
The exact nature of the Grimoire isn't clear, but Stolas was entrusted with it with the duties to use it and learn Earth's skies, Earth's stars, and the prophecies they hold, using the grimoire to open portals between Hell and the living world.
Eventually, it came into the possession of Blitzo, I.M.P's founder, who stole the book from Stolas after sleeping with him. It became an essential part of the company's business model of travelling to the living world to assassinate targets on behalf of souls damned to Hell. Stolas does not seem to mind lending it to Blitzo, albeit with the vague remark of "less than legally", hoping to bribe him with its use for continuing their monthly affair.
In the episode "The Harvest Moon Festival", one of Stolas' annual duties with the book is shown to be hosting the festival of the same name in the Wrath Ring. There, as part of the ceremony celebrating the harvest, he uses the book to open a portal showing an actual in the living world, though the purpose of this is unknown.
In "The Full Moon", Stolas took the grimoire back permanently, instead giving Blitzo an Asmodean Crystal, meaning I.M.P will no longer be using the grimoire.
==Trivia==
*In the storyboards of "Murder Family", Blitzo refers to the grimoire as a "Hocus pocus book", however, the line was cut in the actual episode.
**It is implied in the actual episode that Stolas only requires the grimoire once a month for some form of an unnamed ritual.
*In "Loo Loo Land" Stolas is shown using the book to travel to a star system that is in the process of being destroyed, indicating the grimoire's portal creating abilities are not limited to just planetary bodies like Earth. Additionally, the grimoire is shown to share the same astrological aesthetic as Stolas, hinting it may also have abilities related to the stars.
*In "The Harvest Moon Festival" Stolas mentions cursing the harvest with the glow of a true harvest moon, though the meaning of this is unknown.
*The real-life official merchandise version of the grimoire is approximately 8.5 inches tall.Tweet by @HazbinHotel
*The text on the page Loona has opened in "Truth Seekers" when translated using the runic alphabet says "How to open this stupid fucking portal" and "These bad drawings", respectively.
*In "Seeing Stars", it is implied by Stolas that anyone can use the grimoire's spells without the help of the book itself, if the user can memorize said spells.
*In "Western Energy", it is revealed through Stolas and Blitzo's text conversations that the former does not necessarily need the book every month.
