Grimoire
Originally owned by Serenity Storm during her days as a sorceress. This book now resides with her daughter, Asuna Storm. The grimoire acts as a guide to Asuna's journey to becoming a sorceress. It will gradually reveal new spells and magic that has been recorded by Serenity over the many years
Message from Serenity to Asuna: My dearest daughter, I'm sorry I must leave you like this but I had foreseen that the Battle in Carteneu would end my life trying to protect you and your sister. It's not your fault, it was never yours or Selene's fault as I would have happily given my life to protect you both.
I'm so proud of the women you've both have become. And I know in my heart that you will keep going even after my passing. Just know that my aether is your aether, I will always be by your side in spirit and through this grimoire. I have sealed a fairy inside and only you or your sister are even able to see it. I'm sure Faye has told you look in here.
Now this grimoire has all of the magic I have learned over the years and it will reveal new spells and magic gradually as you go down this road. You have so much magical potential and I know you can unlock that power by following my footsteps. But I hope you'll find your own way into being a powerful sorceress.
I'll miss you and your sister so very much, Asuna. I'm crying just writing this, knowing what will happen here today. I'm so sorry it had to end like this, I wish I could have followed you in this journey and watch you both grow into beautiful women.
I love you both so very muchMessage from Saber to Selene: Hey there, Wildcat. I know Asuna must have gotten to the book first and would have shown you my message. Both your mother and I agreed to write down our final message to you both before setting off, so we may properly say goodbye. I know you're beating yourself up over my passing but don't, this was never your fault. I'd give my life to keep you both safe no matter the circumstances. I know you'll become a strong woman, Wildcat. You and your sister are the best things that has ever happened to us and I'm proud to have raised such a beautiful woman. I'm sure all the guys must be dying to date you, hehe.
Jokes aside, I am so proud of what you have become and will become. I know you'll become stronger and rise up to any challenge. I just wish I was there to see it come to fruition, but unfortunately that may not happen. And I'm sorry to have left you like this but I will always be with you in spirit. Keep going, don't let anyone knock you down.
Now, your mother has left Asuna this book, but I have left something for you, Wildcat. I have left my sword for you to wield, but I wouldn't know where it is in your present time. But just know that it's power is locked and can only be unlocked by our aether. Find it and you will have a powerful weapon at your side.
This is goodbye, I love you both so much.

Summons
ViridianAsuna's first summon. She used her own aether to summon Viridian. He's a wind based elemental that can use wind based attacks. Viridian is very respectful and obedient and tries to help Asuna with training but also comforts her when she's alone. He's her best friend.
PyroAsuna's second summon, using a combination of her own aether and the aether from the lava in Hell's Lid. Pyro is a mischievous little lizard if it's not affecting Asuna as their aether are tied together. Almost like Viridian, he can use fire based attacks as Asuna commands

Powerful
These are more powerful spells that require a lot to cast. These will result in draining the caster's aether fast or take a large amount of concentration.
Warrior Summon - With enough focus and aether, the caster can summon the warriors of old as visages to fight alongside the caster. The visage has basic attacks and abilities based on the class of visage. With enough studying of the caster, the summons may grow more powerful as well as gain new abilities.
Soul of the Warrior - The caster can absorb a job soul recorded from the book and take on the attributes and abilities of that job soul. This takes a huge toll on the caster's aether as they will revert back upon draining enough aether.
