Nosferatu (Grimoire)

The Tome of Nosferatu, also known by the nickname Grimoire, is a possessed tome, and one of the seven Forbidden Tomes. It is the third strongest Forbidden Tome, and is the counterpart to it's relative Relic Tome.

This tome is currently in the possession of Risel Faust, which whom it has formed a permanent soul bond.

#### **Known Abilities**

The tome's pages contain a multitude of forbidden and archaic spells, which can be casted only by those whom are soul bonded to the tome, or by the tome itself. These spells are mostly Umbra aspected, although some of them are Rem aspected or dual-aspected to both Umbra and another element. The tome contains a large range of spells, from simple dark magics to more complex hexes and curses, and very powerful attack-type spells. Some of Nosferatu's most notable spells include name, name, and name.

Aside from spells, the tome of Nosferatu is able to store an infinite amount of information, through its ability to allow its pages to show the reader only what they seek. A tale of contents is available at the beginning, with which one can simply read and then incant (or think, if one is soul bonded) "show me [topic]". The tome's pages will automatically flip to an open page, and the information will surface. Similarly, if one writes on a page of the tome, the information sinks into the paper and is sealed for future reference; a relative entry will be added to the table of contents as well. The tome is also capable of adding or removing such information from its archive to its own discretion.

The lesser of the tome's abilities include an eye, which allows it to see its direct surroundings, and its ability to telepathically communicate with others. The tome is able to choose who hears its telepathic words, either to an individual or a group of people or beasts. When one is soul bonded to the tome, everything not said to a direct individual or group can be heard telepathically by the bonded person, and all thoughts of said person can be heard by the tome. The tome cannot hear the thoughts of any being whom it is not soul bonded to. When the tome is soul bonded to a person, it can see through their eyes if it so chooses.

#### **Sealed Inhabitant**

The Tome of Nosferatu is inhabited by the Daemon of the same name, Nosferatu. He was sealed inside the tome during the Day of Judgement after being deemed the third strongest member of the surviving Daemons. His elemental aptitude is Umbra, and thus the tome's abilities mostly adhere to this element. The appearance of Nosferatu at the point of sealing heavily influenced the appearance of the tome; his outfit details and colour scheme affected the tome's appearance the most.
