Grimoire

The Grimoire is one of the primary sources of power for the Magic Knights and other sorcerers. Grimoires are books that allow users to cast spells far in advance of their own natural magical abilities.

Description
Grimoires are magical items that greatly enhance the user's ability to use magic. They are usually granted to users during a Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony. They also serve as a written record for all of a user's spells. As the owner of a grimoire grows, new magic spells are inscribed into the book.

Because grimoires are connected to their owners, mages cannot use another's grimoire, and grimoires dissolve as their owners die.

Grimoires of sorcerers from the Clover Kingdom and the Diamond Kingdom have clover insignias and diamond insignias, respectively, on their front covers.

Trivia

 * The grimoire term and concept come from real-world instructional textbooks on magic.
 * Most of the grimoires received by the people of the Clover Kingdom have a three-leaf clover on the covers. The leaves of the clover each symbolize certain virtues: Faith, Hope, and Love. The rare fourth leaf represents Fortune. The fifth leaf is said to represent the devil.
 * Faith, hope, love are the three theological virtues of Christianity.
 * The three-leaf clover symbolism is similar to the legend of St. Patrick using a shamrock to illustrate the Christian Holy Trinity.
 * According to superstition, four-leaf clovers are considered good luck.
