>>42498916 >YHWH >pages supposedly transcribing various utterances of the actual God of all existence >supposedly you got scammed, anon. However, you may be able to scam someone else in return. YHWH is the god of merchants, after all. >other copies are traded around by High Priests so its not all bad.
>>42499087 Babble of Skulls is the most interesting one to me. I want to be both enticed and prepared for what's to come.
I'll also take Elementary Potion Handbook. Sounds noob-friendly and I can learn to brew something to induce mystical states or improve health. And then Fae Sightings. I think working with the safer fae species might be an interesting and lower commitment magical discipline.
>>42498818 Yhwh transcript is a gamble. But since it's "the most difficult to obtain", it must be worth something one way or another. At the very least you could probably sell it for a very high price. Expunged data sounds very enticing as well, threats aside. Not sure how practically useful the information there would be beyond providing general awareness though. Inquiry into magick is a safe long-term pick. So I'd be choosing between these three. Everything else sounds kinda whatever. Interesting-ish but not worth wasting one attempt for.
>>42500535 And reasoning: Genuinely interested in what the dead experience, banished gods sound like they'll be fun to serve, and potions practice to tie everything together into becoming a cool lil witch.
>Dr. Incimedes Lectures on the Esoteric Method This seems to be the best book for the self taught mage without needing to rely on gods/spirits/ whatever. I have no interest in serving a deity. >Babble of skulls Everybody dies, and having info about what happens in the afterlife to prepare for it would allow me to get the best result possible . >Elementary Potion Handbook Would prefer Principles of Alchemy but Babble of skulls was to good to pass up. Besides this seems to have everything I would want to make anyways. I think it would be a safe assumption that there is a healing potion and cure disease recipe in here as well.
>>42499087 I would make the argument that Babble of skulls is the most underrated book. Having the objective truth on what happens post death and how to prepare for it is extremely valuable an the fact its only one point is a great deal.
I would say that the worst book is Book of deaths. Its very easy to kill someone and poisons is easy to make and find recipes for. Seems like 3 points just to get a fancy gun.
>the exile's diary as a tartarian researcher this would be invaluable to me, tartarian architecture often pairs with esoteric locations as well.
>esoteric method the diary would be well paired with that since knowing about the esoteric methods (although i already know plenty) allows me to get more out of those locations. would have preferred expunged data since that most likely is going to have all of tartarian history but not enough points sadly.
>>42501296 >I would say that the worst book is Book of deaths Assuming the book is legit, I think you vastly underestimate the ability to assassinate someone - even a respected and powerful politician - a thousand miles away in the safety of your home basement, in total anonymity, after doing some questionable ritual. That would be more effective and valuable and terrifying than any master sniper could ever hope to be. Truly.
>>42504024 Far easier than you think, the vast majority of murders go unsolved. Police stations are filled with cold cases. This anon >>42503715 makes a decent point about the book usefulness with killing people who are to get to like politicians and other heavily guarded people but even then it is still not worth it in my opinion.
>>42498818 By the way, what is this kind of image called? I ask because I collect them (I have four, so far. woo hoo). I call them "fantasy menus" or "occult menus" but I made that up and googling those phrases generates only spurious results. I'd love to know the proper term. Thank you.
>>42498818 Tricks of Persuasion and the Blueprints. I want to get a massive following of people and besides using them to pursue material gains for myself, get them working on the machine, without them knowing what they're building.
>>42498818 I'll take Fae Sightings since I'd like a cute fairy gf, and round it out with Elementary Potion Handbook and Babble of the Skulls, because those seem useful and might be possible for me to actually understand and make use of.
>>42498818 fae sightings, babble of the skulls, elementary potion handbook. either that or trade out the latter two of inquiry into the nature of magick. if i don't understand the latter book am i free to return it? what's the library's return policy
>>42498818 the exiles diary, inquiry into the nature of magick. will levitate my way through the locations and will find other relics. Who knows maybe I will even stumble upon the other books/manuscripts
>Exile's Diary Incredibly important. Best point:usefulness ratio in the list if you're willing to travel. >Fae Sightings Great if you want to graduate from humanity in this lifetime
Alternative pick: >Principles of Alchemy Probably something you could get in your own time, but this would get you started on doing magic. The other magic books are either theory, too dangerous, or useless to someone without the magic 101 foundation.
