Grimoire of Zero (book)

**The Grimoire of Zero** (pronounced **"grim-war'**) is a small spellbook that contains the very essence of magic itself, a quite different craft from sorcery, in its dozens of pages. It is the title of the original anime miniseries and remains a factor even in the five-year spinoff sequel *The Dawn of the Witch*, even though was implied to have been destroyed by its own writer, but is said to reside in the Forbidden Library.

Those wanting to decipher its pages to either dominate or destroy the entire world, as well in the hope of further developing and magnifying their magical abilities to tremendously dangerous power levels were**:**

* Sorcerers of Zero (formerly; influenced by "Him")
* Albus the Mooncaller Witch (formerly)
* Him/Thirteen (fabricated by Thirteen himself as a cover for his true aim)
* Professor Loux Krystas the Immortal Dawn Witch

## Appearance

It is a small, medium-sized book that is a dark purple with gold embellishments.

## Chapters

#### Chapter One: Capture

* ***Conjure of Ropes-*** Encase an opponent in unbreakable ropes to enable the capture of game without relative ease.

#### Chapter Two: Forbidden

* ***Ard Gehrd in De Chordia Zea Segtor Medis-*** Thirteen and Zero used this powerful spell against one another, though Thirteen's incantation purposefully had errors and was never at full strength per Zero's aim. Five years later, however, this was indeed cast at full strength by a fully empowered/enmaiked Zero to terminate the demon that was possessed. Its full power and incantation is shown in another page.

#### Chapter Three: Harvest

* ***Loutiria-*** Brings forth several fish from a river.

#### Chapter Four: Hunting

* ***Flagis-*** Generation of blue-yellow fire that incinerates its victim but leaves it surrounding area unharmed by its flames. It is what the deer beastfallen witch Hort comes to perfect herself in enough to generate regular yellow-and-orange flames that can incinerate more targets than she intends non-verbally.

#### Chapter Five: Protection

* ***Cordia-*** Generates a green magical aura around the caster to heal injured allies, but is beyond returning the spirits of the departed to life. It has what Kudo is most experienced in.

## Trivia

* It is seen in both theme songs of both anime.
* Grimoire is from old French that means either **"Spellbook/Book of Spells"** or a **"Book in Latin"** which is mainly the written language of magic and sorcery, mysticism and the supernatural and the occult.
* It is similar to Gwendolyn Catherine Tennyson's purple-and-golden spellbook (pronounced **"grim-wa")** from the 2005 Cartoon Network show ***Ben 10*** and its three sequels-***Ben 10: Alien Force***, ***Ben 10: Ultimate Alien*** and ***Ben 10: Omniverse***- and the 2016 reboot. And also the pocket-sized lilac spellbook belonging to the teenage half-demon sorceress Raven in ***Teen Titans Go!*** and those that are much larger spellbooks that are called "the Codex" from *Mysticons*, and "the Codex Maru" in *Elena of Avalor*.
