    Well, the limit is 50 and you're generally not supposed to make the thread before then.

    Same.
    It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.

    If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).

    The best answer is always to ask your DM.
    Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

    Hey- I'm a new reader who'd like to say that he's VERY impressed with the world you're building here. That's some inspirational stuff. Very well constructed so far. So good that I was inspired to read all 49 pages of this thread to get caught up on the fan theories. Needless to say, I'll be checking back regularly.

    EDIT: Also, would anyone object to my grabbing of the Roy avi?

    Maybe:

    My guess is that he's going to try to close to melee range, to remove his opponent's advantage. Those last two panels imply a charge.

    I wonder if his Bibliography can steal Kurogane's weapon blasts.

    Unfortunately, he can't, because Bibliography only absorbs spells from different Lexicons. Kurogane's blasts are an ability of the Whitebox Weapon, which don't belong to any Lexicon.

    Ah but we don't know that it only works on Lexicons. That is all we have seen it do so far true but who's to say it only works on Lexicon? Maybe each of the different slots is used for a different type of magic. Or maybe the effects of some Whitebox Weapons are inherently simmilar to Lexicon and can thus be copied. Maybe Bibiliography is more powerful than anyone knows and can copy any magical power.

    It is too early to say anything conclusively. Let's take Bleach for instance. If while I was for the first time reading through Chapter Nine of Bleach someone told me Ichigo's sword could do the Getsugatenshou(with an explanation of what that is of course) or transform I wouldn't have believed them.

    I'm inclined to agree with XenthenK- what we've seen so far implies that it only works against Lexicons. Though I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it will work on something else, eventually, but it's not something we've been introduced to yet.

    Regardless, it looks like his options are either closing in or Lensflash Array. If he closes in he might be able to disarm Terry, though I doubt it. I suppose a third option would be to target the roof and cause some sort of cover for a melee assault. But considering Terry's whitebox is a sword I think Ben might be outmatched in the melee department.

    He could aim at Terry's legs or use a shot to distract him while jumping in and punching him?

    It might catch him off guard.

    Yes; we know it absorbs spells from lexicons. We don't know, however, that it is its only power.

    Also, Ben later explains that when he summoned the Bibliography, it only had that one slot open. Even if the spell was from a different Lexicon, it should have wiped any spell in his book even if they were from different Chapters.

    He also mentions that he could only open it to that one page with the six slots. I had wondered if that was because he was only around one chapter when he activated it, but there were both Eyedolls and Werewolves present, so it must not be one codex per double-page.

    It's only ever been hit with spells from one lexicon, maybe if he had Eve hit it with, say, a Lycannon another slot would open up, designated as the Lunar Codex Slot.

    I don't think so.

    Because That only one slot was open before being hit with any spell seems to disprove your entire hypothesis.

    That's not to say that isn't how it works but, honestly, all signs so far have shown that it likely doesn't.

    My thoughts: It responds to the strength and control of Ben's Aura, the stronger he gets, the more pages open up, the more control he gets over his power, the more slots per page open up.

    Ah the standard "Level Up" Method.

    I'd like to introduce a different hypothesis.

    If Ben gets another whitebox weapon, they will both appear as the singular bibliography, and he will have two slots. If he were to get seven, a second bibliography would show up. The two are the only ones that open to make it simple to see what spells he has.

    It's kind of ridiculous, but it's a possibility.

    You theory works better if he has access to a third and fourth page instead of a second Bibliography.
