Name	Grand Grimoire

A deathly silence seems to surround this book as it's opened; even the very air appears to recoil from the monstrosities pictured here. The pages, covered in abominable runes, describe how the mighty among summoners can bend to their will the terrible things from betwixt the planes. Many have been the unwary souls, however, who have toyed with this tome and been driven mad by eldritch horrors from beyond imagining.

Reading the Grand Grimoire requires you to have both level 6 in Spellcasting and level 10 in Summonings.

Spells

History

Prior to 0.16, the Grand Grimoire contained Haunt.

Prior to 0.14, the Grand Grimoire contained Mass Abjuration instead of Aura of Abjuration, and Demonic Horde instead of Forceful Dismissal.

Prior to 0.12, failing to memorise a spell from this book could produce severe Summoning miscast effects. The Grand Grimoire was one of the books gifted by Vehumet. The followers of this god were able to read this book without the required amounts of Spellcasting and Summoning.

Prior to 0.8, this book was called the Book of Demonology, and contained Call Imp, Abjuration, Recall, and Summon Demon instead of Haunt and Malign Gateway.
