Scribing an Astral Grimoire is much like scribing an earthly one, except the vessel which holds the symbols exists only in the subject’s Oneiros. An Awakened subject can cast the rotes from the Grimoire without having to meditate into the Astral, but if she does cast with the Astral representation of the Grimoire in hand, it grants a two-die Equipment bonus to all casting rolls. Summoning the Goetia that represents the Grimoire has the same effect.
+1 Reach: The mage can scribe a Grimoire into the Temenos, making it available to anyone who travels to that Temenos realm. The rotes can only be cast directly from the Astral representa- tion or with its summoned Goetia, neither of which grants an Equipment bonus.
+1 Reach: For one point of Mana, the spell’s Duration is Lasting.
+2 Reach: The mage can scribe a Grimoire into the Anima Mundi. Such Grimoires manifest not as books and scrolls, but as vast constellations of stars or rock formations. Figuring out how to read one constitutes a Mystery unto itself.
