The Indices

For many years, it was thought theese three books were all one large book set to explain the universe, written by one man. It is now known that the books are contributed works, each written by many different people.

• The Grand Index of [the] Alchemic Laws and Restrictions
• The Great Index of Disturbance [of Spirits]
• The Lost Index

This text is large, old, smelly and musty. It describes both natural rules and constructed regulations on the practice of Alchemy. It has been found that the natural rules are not entirely accurate, and many more 'modern' alchemists have simply cast off the man-enforced regulations in the second part.

• The First Part The Natural Laws
• The Last Part The Enforced Laws

In Part I, or, as written in it's native language The Part Which Comes First, the natures of elements are listed. It is very intresting that this part states that it is impossible to re-animate a dead body.

In a massive contradicition with the First Part, This part outlines why it is unethical to re-animate the dead. This suggusts one author wrote both sections of those sections.

The only part of this book I have worked out is one short passage describing the effects of summoning a disturbed spirit, and a few rules for the spirit to form.

• Life A spirit must have enough energy to live (therefore, be a soul). It must still have life.
• Liberity The soul (that is, a spirit with enough energy to live) must be willfull to return. It may be disturbed and commanded for other thing but this is discussed in another chapter.
• Property The soul must have one to Harbor it for the period of a year, a day, an hour, a moment, a minute and a second Or about, 527060 mintues and 31 seconds.

Also contained is a section about days when spirits are effected, such as Febuary 29^th Leap day.

Most of this book was lost, but it was divided into many scriptures and is slowly being rebuilt.
