    There is a light etching mechanic for the restoration of Doma, and as a kid you might remember scratching a paper onto something and getting an image... I wonder if we could have a minor sort of etching mechanic here where the book gives you a hint to where you may find the spell with perhaps a few notes, and for each monster you kill (in the correct zone(s)) the etching becomes clearer and clearer and instantly reveals if you killed the right monster. At the top right of the image would be a "top three" list of "???" to where the monster is located. I say three just because SE probably doesn't want to data mine themselves and make a huge list when a monster is over used.

    In this way you can wander around with a vague description that becomes clearer with each step, some people being able to guess the monster on the first reveal (others not remembering what monsters are in the zone might need a few more steps).

    Also someone asked for a visual, audio, or whatever notice when a monster casts a spell you may be able to learn. I think that should be added too to let people know you're on the right track. For example it could be a little blue mage cane and question mark sort of icon by their name tag once they've casted a spell you could learn.
