Blessed Wrongs

A book in the Hillsglade House library.<ref name=":0">I looked at the books, noting the differences from the ones in the rest of the house.  They were better taken care of, for one thing, and they tended to be narrow.

Draoidh.  The book had a little ivory mask inset in the spine, with round staring eyes and a very curly beard.

Blessed Wrongs.

Dryads, Varieties.

Jokes from the Faerie Folk.

I tried to swallow, but my mouth was too dry.  I didn’t know much, but I knew this was a bad idea of the worst kind.

These were the books that held a place of prominence on grandmother’s

bookshelf.  These were the tools she expected us to employ.

No small wonder she’d made the enemies she had.

These books?  They each had the same set of initials on the spine.  R.D.T.

She’d written them.

Dark Contracts

A book on Diabolism written by Rose Thorburn Senior.<ref name=":1" />

Deleterious Craftings

A book in the Hillsglade House library.<ref name=":0" /> Presumably concerns Curses.

Demesne

A book with an green cloth cover covering the details of Demesnes. Of a set with Famulus and Demesne.<ref name=":2">Another series of books, in a stack in the corner, where the lawyers had left them.  Famulus, Implementum, Demesnes. 

Orange, purple and green cloth covers, respectively, they all matched 

otherwise, in size and the script on the spines.  I glanced each one over, then tossed them onto the desk, where they rewarded me with a series of satisfying impacts. - excerpt from Bonds 1.3</ref><ref name=":3">2. Study and enact the ritual noted in Famulus. 

The familiar is your greatest ally, and will serve as a tool, a 

wellspring of power, an ambassador to dealing with more abstract things,

and will be a lifelong companion.  Make this choice with the same 

respect you would with undertaking marriage, only know there is no form of divorce.  The Familiar is to be a part of you for life.  You gain their services, and they gain a chance to be mortal, even if it is a small mortalhood, in addition to whatever other terms you negotiate.  Do

not allow your familiar to take the form of a rat or dog.

3.  Study and enact the ritual noted in Implementum.  Your

choice of tool will shape how you interact with this world, your craft,
and will be your badge in the eyes of many.  The book is dreary, page 

on page of examples, but study it thoroughly, for there are many meanings, and a poor choice of tool may well cripple you.

4.  Study and enact the ritual found in Demesnes. 

Baba Yaga had her hut, I have my room.  Unfortunately, the rest of the 

house has been claimed by our predecessors, and while it is a haven, you

will need to find your own place to make your own, where the rules bend
as you need them to, and where your power is greatest.  The three 

rituals noted here are fundamental in determining how you access, hoard and focus power.  Note, however, that your real power will be in how you

act with others and Others.

Devils and Details

Dramatis Personae

Dramatis Personae is a journal handwritten by Rose D. Thornburn, Sr. It lists and summerizes notable individuals within Jacob's Bell and the surrounding area.<ref>Mr. Beasley, as well as individuals you’ll find in Jacob’s Bell and the surrounding area, is described in a little black book I playfully dubbed

Dramatis Personae, when I was younger. - excerpt from Bonds 1.3</ref> It is a small, leatherbound black book with tabs seperating "Allies" (Containing only her lawyers' number) and "Enemies" (Everyone else in town.)<ref>I found Dramatis Personae.  I flipped through it.  There were tabs.  One for ‘allies’, which was virtually empty, with only the lawyer’s number.

Enemies…  they took up almost all of the remainder.

Essentials

Main article: Essentials

Famulus

Full title is Famulus: The Familiar. A book with an orange cloth cover covering the details of Familiars and the relevant ritual. Of a set with Implementum and Demesne.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" /> Quoted at length in Interlude 2.x.

Fundamentals

Contains warnings on the dangers of overusing Second Sight<ref>Fundamentals had warned about using the sight too much, going too deep.  I was starting to understand how that worked.  When we crossed over, our sight had adjusted.  If I peered hard enough or long enough, I suspected, I might not be able to readjust my vision to view the normal world at all.  Go too deep, exploring permutations and distant perspectives of things, and perhaps you couldn’t resurface. I could see the problem with that.  Being in the real world, but only able to view the spirit world version of it?  It would be like going mad, except the monsters and things in the shadows could very well be real, and there could be no hope of maintaining normal relationships, when you saw normal people through the eyes of an Other. - excerpt from Subordination 6.10</ref> and some basic elemental Runes.<ref>I recognized one of the symbols in the dead center, writ large, as an elemental ward, one of the more elementary ones we’d learned from Fundamentals. - excerpt from Duress 12.5</ref>

It's possible that this is same book as [[Essentials]], given the similar name & some overlap in the contents. If so, this could be either the author or the characters misremembering the name of the book.
