The spell book of the solar [[Wyr'palja]] (or, at least, one of them) is a thick tome perfectly square pages, roughly fifteen inches on a side. The front and back covers are made from flawless white marble, of the same variety used to construct manses. In minute relief, the front cover features various bird imagery intertwined with three interlocking circles. The back features the same circles, with representations of the five elements. The book contains hundreds of pages, but they are so thin that they stack to be only a half-inch thick. The spine is made of some kind of transparent, rubbery substance that holds the pages and covers in place. The book is organized into loose chapters, mostly written by hand in Old Realm.

The spell book of the solar Wyr'palja (or, at least, one of them) is a thick tome perfectly square pages, roughly fifteen inches on a side. The front and back covers are made from flawless white marble, of the same variety used to construct manses. In minute relief, the front cover features various bird imagery intertwined with three interlocking circles. The back features the same circles, with representations of the five elements. The book contains hundreds of pages, but they are so thin that they stack to be only a half-inch thick. The spine is made of some kind of transparent, rubbery substance that holds the pages and covers in place. The book is organized into loose chapters, mostly written by hand in Old Realm.

Thoughts on Devon and Salina

This chapter contains largely unorganized ramblings and observations comparing the analytical approach to sorcery favored by Devon with the emulation of natural connections favored by Salina. From the text, it is clear that Wyr'palja taught herself sorcery initially, using something close to the Salinan method, and much of what follows is an attempt to reconcile this with the Devonian teachings of her mentor Tarim and, later, her early scientific approach to alchemy. Eventually, she realized her alchemical studies, in spite of being very methodical, really were investigating the connections of nature, and this led her to understand celestial sorcery much better. And this, in turn, made her a better alchemist.

Disjointed as it is, this chapter can be of use to those attempting to learn celestial sorcery. It also contains the secrets of Salinan Absorbtion, a permanent Occult charm that refines the practice of sorcery by those following the Salinan school.

Invitation to the Calibration Feast

Though this section starts as a rambling diatribe against her mentor Tarim and a number of other solar sorcerers, it eventually becomes a lucid description of how Wyr'palja learned solar circle sorcery, in spite of interference from other solars. This culminates in the invention of the spell that created Q'in Sanizaj and the resulting invitation to the Calibration Feast for solar sorcerers (essentially enacted to prevent solars from summoning third circle demons.)

It also contains notes on summoning elementals and demons, details of the limit profiles in Savant & Sorcerer (pp 87-99) as well as that of the sycophant. It also gives true names for several demons and elementals.
