==Overview== The book was written by Magnus through his personal scribe Mahavastu Kallimakus. Later during the [[Horus Heresy]], the [[Kairos Fateweaver|Daemon Fateweaver]] manipulated Hathor Maat into altering a single line on the book. The original still exists within the library of the daemon-primarch Magnus, atop the Tower of the Cyclops on [[Sortiarius]] and Magnus takes it with him when he strides to war or he finds some interesting shit to nerd out on and take notes. The book has several copies - one of them is with [[Ahzek Ahriman|Ahriman]]; taking a copy before his exile, while another copy is said to reside in the [[Black Library]] of Chaos. How the [[Harlequins]] managed to get a copy from [[TTS|Magnymagick]], we have no idea, possibly due to a bit of [[Cegorach|clownery.]] The Book contains the single-largest reservoir of warp-based knowledge and sorcery; featuring anything from the mundane (Like how Warp entities work) to the esoteric and forbidden (Answers to the Sensei). Nothing comes close to it in terms of sheer knowledge. Of course the [[Book of Lorgar]] may possess more info on the [[Chaos Gods]] and various daemonic summoning rituals, but it also reads like some sort of [[Chakats|horrid fan-fic]]. The Book of Magnus being a collection of PhD papers, thesis and other boring nerd stuff, is at least dry enough that you won't accidentally summon a [[Anal circumference|daemon from your own asshole]] by flipping to the wrong page. An interesting point of trivia, but since his fall, the pages from the Book of Magnus has known to change by itself to whatever the reader wants to know off; flipping pages by itself or self-translating itself to various languages. Pretty god damn convenient. Of course, the book is never finished as Magnus is still busy exploring the Empyrean, but given the book's ability to literally condense info by itself to gain more writing space, paper has never ever been an issue. Tl;dr the Book of Magnus is a wiki: ostensibly written by [[User:Root|Magnus]], but is a condensation of many other works, and influenced by insane daemons through the fell magics of the warp rather than degenerate anons.
