    Grimoire Names for Arcanist/Summoner

    Just a thought I had while at work today: Arcanists/Summoners use Grimoires as thier weapon right? So what kind of names/titles would they have? For fun I'd thought I'd post a few ideas, and I invite others to do the same. Who knows? The devs might even like one and use it.

    Here are a few I found/came up with:

    Law of Solipsism - We're killing things with books, CUE THE OMINOUS CHORUS!!!

    Tome of the Azure Sky - Because a reference to one Yagami just isn't enough :3

    The Satanic Verses - Given the controversy (and killings) over the actual book, this one will never happen, but tell me it doesn't sound like a tome of eldritch lore.

    Lemegeton - Bonus points for being an actual Grimoire on evoking demons (many of the demons named in the tome inspired the Dynamis NMs in FFXI), SMN relic anyone?

    The Akashic Records - described as containing the knowlege of all Human experience, and the entire history of the universe. Basically the big book of EVERYTHING.

    Necronomicon - Shout out to Lovecraft

    Shams al-Ma'arif - A 13th century grimoire on Arabic magic, and attaining esoteric spirituality, considered an important text in both hemispheres.

    Aradia - aka: the gospel of the Witches

    Malleus Maleficarum - aka: How to conduct a 15th century Witch trial, basically a book on the heretical deeds of witches and how to coerce (read: torture) a confession from them.

    Theosophia - "Divine Wisdom" in Greek.

    Heimskringla - Best known of the Old Norse king's sagas.

    Paracelsus - Renaissance Alchemist, Physician, Astrologer, Scientist, and Occultist. Also makes a good name for a book.

    Grand Grimoire - Yet another actual Grimoire said to be used to summon the Devil (is it just me, or am I starting to see a pattern here?) Bonus points for being used in FF Tactics Advance.

    Galdrabok - an Icelandic Grimoire. According to Wikipedia: The various spells consist of Latin and runic material as well as Icelandic magical staves, invocations to Christian entities, demons and the Norse gods as well as instructions for the use of herbs and magical items. Some of the spells are protective, intended against such problems as trouble with childbearing, headache and insomnia, previous incantations, pestilence, suffering and distress at sea. Others are intended to cause fear, kill animals, find thieves, put someone to sleep, cause farting or bewitch women.

    XIV already has one that I hope is the SMN relic weapon: The Necrologos.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
