Behind the Bookcase

[Chris]

Harry Hippotter was walking through the Enchanted Forest one day, when he happened across a clearing lit with the warm glow of a half dozen Fly Agaric Mushroom Lamps. In the centre was a deep pond. Being a hippo, he couldn't help but dive right in - robes and all! Unfortunately, he also forgot to take off his satchel, containing his precious grimoire. All of his spells were ruined! Can you help Harry put together a new one?

What exactly needs to be on a "grimoire page"? The example shows mysterious symbols. Are we supposed to invent new mysterious symbols? Do they need to represent or mean something? Could there be pictures of magical creatures or characters or the like? Could we write something like a magic spell or a potion recipe? Are real letters allowed, or is actual writing not what is wanted from this event?

The example was only to illustrate that we need to see something physical photographed. The suggestions you have listed in your post would be acceptable. The lack of instruction on what to include on the pages is because I wanted to leave it up to the user to decide the content of their entry as far as possible.

cool, so that means I can draw an animal and add feathers. But is writing a message necessary? Like actual English or it can be made up language?

Thank you!! ;v; I crumpled the paper beforehand, although it did make writing/drawing feel a little trickier, eheh.

 

[Bluebellie]

Can the writing be digital printed on the paper, Or do we have to hand write?

 

[Croconaw]

I really enjoyed making this one. I hope my chicken scratch is legible. As you can probably tell, I don’t like writing lowercase letters.

Buck's Brilliant Bowl of Bewitchment Brew

 

[daringred_]

double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble.
soothe the wolf that lurks within; let the monthly change begin.
shed no blood and rest the night; sleep away your painful plight.
'til the rising sun shines warm; upon your once more human form.

In a cave hidden away under the forest canopy I came across a local woodland witch. With her help I was able to compile crucial information that can't miss in any well rounded grimoire. Some particularly secret bits of information were written in foreign languages as to protect this vital information from getting into the wrong hands.

The left page list details concerning divination, featuring one of the witches favourite tarot cards. Somehow, the medium in the illustration seems familiar - but I can't remember where I saw her face before. The page furthermore reveals important dates concerning the next blood moon lunar eclipse.

The right page explains summoning basics and gives a short overview over a handful of crystals and their intended purpose. If I'm not mistaken, very similar ones can be found in the forum shop at this very moment. How convenient!

Hopefully Harry will find these pages helpful ~

It looks like some of these pages were cursed.

Here's my submission, though I realized as I was checking the rules while uploading the picture that it might not be foresty enough. I didn't remember a forest theme being part of the rules, and I'm not sure if that was added later or if I just missed it. But it is about magic and I thought it was suitable for a page in a magic book, is that enough? I can make a new one if I have to...

Spoiler: Magic Book Page
