Grimoires that SHOULD be in Avowed

Endonae by Endonae|

These Grimoires DO NOT EXIST nor is there any indication that there were plans for them to exist. This is basically just me writing gameplay fanfiction in a spellbook.

My goal was to present balanced, thematic combinations that fit within the universe while incorporating lesser-used spells, like Grimoire Snap, Blackbow, and Returning Storm.

Many of these seem like fairly obvious inclusions, at least to me, and some of them are only a spell away from a Grimoire that does exist.

The Grimoire icons used represent the closest real alternatives.

Grimoire of Cataclysms

The Grimoire of Cataclysms would combine all of the apocalyptic spells together into a single book to commemorate all of Sapadal’s tantrums. Swapping out Blizzard for Missile Salvo would make the book stronger, but it would be less on-brand.

Level 15 Arcane Spell

Meteor Shower Icon

Meteor Shower

Level 20 Fire Spell

Closest real alternatives are the Grimoire of Storms and Od Caura’s Grimoire.

Grimoire of Conjuration

The Grimoire of Conjuration would combine all conjured 3 weapons alongside the more physical Grimoire Snap spell. This is what Grimoire of the Spellblade should have been.

Level 10 Conjuration Spell

Blackbow Icon

Blackbow

Level 15 Conjuration Spell

Closest real alternative is the Grimoire of the Spellblade.

Grimoire of the Arcane

The Grimoire of the Arcane would combine all of the arcane magic in the game. Honorable mention goes to Pull of Eora, but it doesn’t deal damage or mention the word arcane, and the book already enough defensive prowess.

Missile Salvo

Level 10 Arcane Spell

Arcane Seal Icon

Arcane Seal

Level 20 Abjuration Spell

Closest real alternative is Anextli’s Grimoire.

Channeler’s Grimoire

The Channeler’s Grimoire would be a well-rounded spellbook that contains every spell that deals its damage over the course of an active channel. I think this book would also be a great candidate for another Unique Wand since the theme is so cohesive.

Fan of Flames Icon

Level 1 Fire Spell

Jolting Touch Icon

Corrosive Siphon

Blast of Frost Icon

Blast of Frost

Level 15 Frost Spell

Closest real alternative is the Grimoire of Elements.

Parasite’s Grimoire

The Parasite’s Grimoire would combine all of the Poison, Bleed, and leeching effects into a single book as an homage to Woedica’s view of Sapadal’s thorn.

Chill Blades Icon

Chill Blades

Level 1 Frost Spell

Corrosive Siphon

Blackbow Icon

Blackbow

Level 15 Conjuration Spell

Closest real alternative is the Grimoire of Entropy.

Elementalist’s Grimoire

The Elementalist’s Grimoire would be the endgame equivalent to the Grimoire of (Greater) Elements, containing each of the strongest Shock, Frost, Fire, and Arcane spells in the game. Despite being bombastic, it lacks the versatility afforded by something like the Aurochs-Skin Grimoire.

Returning Storm

Level 10 Shock Spell

Endonae is a passionate gamer who's particularly fond of challenging action RPGs and open world games with visceral combat. The closer it is to being a Soulslike, the better. Ranged casters, particularly of the energy or elemental variety, are his bread and butter. Lightsabers are pretty cool, too.
