De Occulta Philosophia, by Agrippa von Nettesheim, was considered a mature compendium of magical practice and theory. Written in the sixteenth century, it was on of the most influential books on magic around.

This is why Morgan is, naturally, sitting a table with a cup of apple tea, correcting it.

Have at.

"Good morning. I could not help but notice your choice of literature."

"Agrippa von Nettesheim got things wrong." Morgan says, simply.

"I must say I know the title, but not this person, Agrippa."

"A wizard of some description."

"And lesser talent?" She offers the book she is carrying.

"Hard to say - he got confused with what mortals thought magic."

Curious, her grey eyes flick to Serena's book.

Inconcessus Prodigium Dicta... seems brand new.

Morgan's fingers twitch to pick it up.

Serena is offering it... at least for Morgan to peruse.

"Thank you. I'm Morgan," she says, flicking through it carefully.

"I am Serena." Its a manuscript, an illuminated manuscript, inscribed upon the finest vellum... the book on itself is already a work of art.

On content, it is a solid introduction on the denizens of the supernatural world... ghosts, demons, elementals, and spirts. Definitions, protocols when dealing with those, and general interests and motivations. A good reference book for a skilled mage, and a source of information an apprentice would kill for.

Genius as she is, apprentice is still very much a good term for Morgan.

Maybe she would kill for it.

Maybe.

"I brought this as a donation for the Library."

"I've heard about the library, but I've not seen it."

"You should. It has a very interesting collection of works."

"I'm sure. Where is it?"

"Its in room number..." Serena knows, the Mun is drawing a blank. Assume it was said.

"Thank you, my lady."

"Please, simply Serena. I am far from a lady." And after a moment of pondering. "Would you like a copy of the book?"

The girl brightens.

"I would love one."

Seren then takes it back. She must remember to thank Asar-Suti again....

The vampire makes a series of hand and finger gestures... then she draws in the air, and a floating sigil fomrs, no, two, each drawn by a hand.

Next, she holds both etheral sigils, rests hands on the book... and moves hands to the side. The book shimmers with the violet light of the sigils, then... just like that... duplicates.

As Serena did the magic, Morgan concentrated on it. No, she couldn't copy it just like, just from watching, but, still.

"Thank you."

She hands one of the two books to Morgan. Impossible to say with is the original, and wich is a copy. "You are welcome." And the vampire learns much from this simple encounter.
