Library (Mirror of Fate)

The Library is a location in Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. It is the fifteenth area Simon Belmont explores.
==Overview==
The dimly lit Library, with its decrepit bookshelves and tattered interior, is immediately interesting due to the Wraith, which slinks about the background. Ignoring the non-threat, Simon moves left and crawls under a stairway; he stops to give attention to a bookrack, making contact with which unleashes the Magic Book enemy.
After shredding some control-freak tomes, he spots a bemused hunchback on the balcony above; its only purpose is to highlight his next destination, from which he'll climb to the upper levels of the library. Here an obvious podium acts as a switch to remove from the doorway a large demonic statue that blocks the path forward; the branching pathway leads into an interior portion of the Courtyard, as mentioned in its own description.
Once the Combat Cross is secured, Simon can reach the library's heights, where he'll find the teleporter room. Though, continuing to climb and swing his way upward will lead him to this area's exit point.
===Tome puzzle===
The Library contains three tomes, which can be read that contain a puzzle that allow for additional exploration through the library :
*The first tome reads: A book with several marked words rests on its book stand: hidden, of, three, routes, the, same, books, number, open. Reconfigured, the words spell out the phrase, "Three books open the same number of hidden routes." This opens a passageway to a secret elsewhere in the library, alongside another book.
*The second tome reads: reward, will, word, have, every, great, reads, whoever, a. ("Whoever reads every word will have a great reward.") Another passageway in the library will open near the top of the map, leading to a final book.
*The third tome reads: worthy, you, have, of, taking, be, treasure, my, proven, to. ("You have proven to be worthy of taking my treasure.") This opens an iron gate in the room alongside you, leading to a treasure chest that increases the Magic meter.
