Enchanted Book

## History

Andrew Allen’s book dates pre-barrier, originally belonging to a powerful human sorcerer named Malachi, Malachi was someone of high status under, the then Queen of the humans, Miranda, during the war most humans didn’t want to fight especially since they couldn’t overpower the might of the Supernatural. When Jazzmine Dreammurr agreed to surrender in exchange of Toriel, Malachi ordered the guards to turn against Miranda and then begged Jazzmine to rule both humans and monsters, Jazzmine refused respecting her deal with Miranda, to create the Barrier all human magical items were burned and extracted from its magic, except for Malachi’s book which he used its powers of teleportation to hide it in Norway.

Centuries later, it was found by a man and sold to a pawn shop, some time in the future, Andrew and his family visited Norway (Andrew’s nationality is Australian incase you are wondering) and Andrew felt an immediate connection to the book. His mother said that he couldn’t have it, this caused it to spark what’s left of it’s magic without the monster’s magic aura to soul bind itself to Andrew. In 2026 Andrew falls down MT. Ebbot, then the book reactivated and protected Andrew from the fall, as Andrew progresses in this adventure of the underground as the 9th fallen human the book regains more and more of its abilities.

## Ablities

### To the Player

To the player the book acts like a in game menu, since Andrew doesn’t have any determination in his soul he can’t use the save stars, though even of he could Sans has destroyed them all except for the ones in the ruins which appear a grey color and deal electric shock to Andrew if he touches them.

It keeps track of tasks so you know what to do next, keeps track of all achievements (retains achievements even if you restarted Fallenswap), lets you go to chapter select so you can replay or review a chapter, it also keeps track of all story changing choices.

The book pages keep track of all areas, main characters and objects of importance and will update itself when new information is learned

### To Andrew

#### In battle

In battle the book heals Andrew, summons a shield and eventually is able to deal magic attacks. These magic attacks are a translucent glowing electric blue color these attacks include a blast, magic electrical shock and diamond shaped projectiles.

In SWFallenswap but it’s Glitchswap/Glitchtale other powers include a shock wave, mid air suspension and telekinesis.

The book is a vital asset in SW!Fallenswap because without it the monsters will be too strong to survive against.

#### other uses

The book grants Andrew the ability to teleport to places he’s been, it can also summon a parachute to slow his fall or a rope like thing to tie around something to keep him from falling.

Andrew also gains a limited telekinesis like ability which can only be used to make the book return to him, this seems to be a common trait in soul bound items as Sans’ sword (the only other enchanted item seen in SW!Fallenswap) is able to return to him without usage of telekinesis.

#### genocide

The book turns black and corrupted looking when Genocide!Andrew aka “the demon” (or more correctly known as the player/you) wields it, it also loses the main menu feature during the Final fight against Sans.

### Comparison to Other enchanted items(not to be confused with magic items):

Enchanted item are physical weapons that are magical enchanted this does not include weaponize tools like SWFallenswap equivalent to the Gaster Blaster or summoned attacks like spears, music notes, bones or weapons and tools that Sans summons by using a magical ability connected to his personality. Wingding’s staff is debatable whether or not it counts as an enchanted item or not as it is a physical object and connected to him but not enough of the staff’s use and powers are shown or known to make a decision.

Sans’ sword is the only other enchanted item seen in SW!Fallenswap (if you don’t count Wingding’s magical staff enchanted), and in SW!Fallenswap but it’s Glitchswap/Glitchtale Professor J.A River’s Scythe is added to the list of enchanted weapons.

Sans’s swords is a good comparison to get the basics on how enchanted items work,

Sans’ sword qualities and abilities include a viking rune that is the rune for eternal love, it is indestructible, it’s enchanted titanium blade can cut through even the toughest mental, it can catch itself on fire which is electric blue and with a yellow glue, can deal huge slicing attacks, capable of sending a surge of magical energy into someone who is not him if the attempt to wield it, return to him, can be summoned/teleported to if it’s far away from him even if he is in currently in different A.U or the anti-void and it can split into twin daggers, and the enchantment with break if his soul is destroyed

###### Andrew’s book since Sans’ blade is purely weapon and not an enchanted tool there will be obvious differences in logic, but connections can be made;

* \* Both can return to their owner
* \* Both only work when wielder uses it
* \* both are indestructible
* \*both glow.
* \* both have a viking rune enchantment visible on it, though later, Andrew's book is changed to have Hebrew letters on it
* \* can deal magic damage and physical damage (Andrew is seen hitting Sans in the skull with it)

The biggest difference between the two (ignoring the abilities related to what the object is) is that Sans’ sword enchantment breaks if his soul dies, and Andrew’s book enchantment will keep on existing no matter if he is dead or alive.

This is because Sans’ sword was enchanted for him and him only and Andrew’s book was enchanted to be able to have different owners

***Now we add SWFallenswap but it’s Glitchswap J.A River’s Scythe in the equation,***

River’s scythe can be summoned and dismissed, the blade acts like how Glitchtale Gaster’s magic hands work, red deals a huge swipe/slice attack, other colors give herself the ability to do so and doesn’t come straight out of the scythe, she also able to create portals with it and it seems to be indestructible it can also be used as a normal weapon.

###### Now comparing it to Sans’ sword

* \* both can be summoned
* \* can deal a magic attack
* \* can be used as a normal weapon
* \* is indestructible

###### Now comparing all qualities of all known enchanted items together…

* \* enchanted items are indestructible
* \* can be summoned or be able to return to owner
* \* can deal magical and physical attacks
* \* only can be used by owner
* \* has abilities related to its use

## Trivia Fact

The connection between The book of Malachi from the Hebrew bible and the Malachi mentioned in the enchanted book’s history and the fact Andrew is Jewish himself was done on purpose, the viking runes are not connected to that fact and just connected to Norway being a place of origin of where vikings came from, though when this was changed to have hebrew letters on it, it translates into Malachi. Andrew’s name sharing the same name of Saint Andrew the Apostle is completely unintentional.
