Mekulla

An Ancient text studied by the Mikanni people, who were once native to a land in what is now Kedoua before their annihilation by the Helians, who burned their homeland into what is now called "The Land of Tears and Glass."
The Mekulla is a fascinating text—and it is all that remains of the religious lore of the Mikanni. The text details a divine order that underpins the cosmos wherein all things are connected through the “Great Body,” a sort of divine blueprint that encompasses all creation, made up of ten “stars” connected by twenty-two “roads.” Each star contains a body of its own within, and has four “times” in which it can be represented, each different. The stars correspond with letters in the Mikanni alphabet, which in turn correspond to numbers via a complex system of numerology, which in turn allows anything—anything—to be represented in the Great Body via a mathematical calculation. By placing an object in such a way certain essential truths about it can be discovered, including its similarity to other objects or concepts, where it resides in the divine order, and what its true nature is.
Understandably this is a VERY useful tool to those who practice magic, as it can provide paranormal data through arcane mathematics that would otherwise have to be determined through trial and error, which in the case of powerful magic can be the difference between success and an extinction event.
The Mekulla is considered one of the most important occult texts in Vosca, but it is not terribly popular because it requires one to speak a dead language, and also because it does not actually contain any instruction for performing magic on one's own. It is a categorization tool, not a system of practical magic itself.
