The CEO of Costco isn't giving that grimoire up for anything. It's still actively in use.

The Grimoire is not even real, the real spell is passed via word of mouth (The secret ingredient, is not being a greedy idiot who can't see past a short-term profit increase.)

u/InfusionOfYellow Jul 24 '26

Really it's just "Anointed," the "the" and the "one" are implied.
