This thread allows me to bring up something I've never bothered to ask /tg/: how do you like fluff for spellbooks, grimoires, and the like? Do you think some kind of spellbook is a necessary part of casting? If you have them, what do they do? Can you do stuff like automatically transfer knowledge of a spell using them? Impart part of the user's own mind into it? Some other shit I can't think of?
>needing existence
I take it you guys never heard of "IT"?

I always figured they carried it around 'cause they can't remember a shit ton of spells, they just memorize the ones most likely to save their lives and such. So they carry around the book, read it in preparation for certain scenarios and then fuck shit up.
They'd probably just need to learn the mystical language and all the nuances and then they can cast just about any normal spell as long as they have the chant.

That's like chiding on someone for being unable to walk just because they drive.

No. That is so incredibly vague as to be completely meaningless. It is the equivalent of telling your boyfriend he knows why you're angry and treating him as if his refusal to acknowledge it is a deliberate insult

I thought it was hilarious how in Negima, the reason one guy carries around a spellbook isn't because he needs it for casting, but because being the "Thousand Master" means he knows how to cast so many spells that he literally needs a cheat sheet to keep them straight.

They are repositories of knowledge, they aren't full of writing but thoughts and ideas melded with magic.
Each wizards grimore contains his thoughts melded with the winds of magic, if it is destroyed a part of his mind is flayed from thought, usual torture is the burning page by page of a captured wizards grimore.
Grimore's expand and will always be half empty no matter how many pages are consumed by the thoughts required to contains the wizards mind.
Grimores will heal and clean themselves magically ( superficial damage only) and won't deteriorate over time, those without an affinity for magic will see fantastical pictures, while those with an affinity will see the images move and reform; with study they can try decipher the previous owners thoughts.

Isn't he gonna read our rights first, at the very least?
