Goal My main aim will be to present past break-throughs, so as to imply that the order has been refining magic, and the current guidelines are not some unchanging perfection. The Folios will be also a source of "standard spells", thus explaing why the core book has that particular set of spells to start with, including "legacy spells"

An Early Colens, the Major breakthrough that allowed Arcane Connections to be permanent, was rightfully deserving of a place, however the Magus who uncovered it preferred to remain anonymous. Naturally speculation at the time wondered if they had stolen someone else’s work. Whispers were also made that the Primus of House Guernicus had insisted on its inclusion, otherwise the discoverer would have had too much power to disrupt the Order. House Guernicus denied all such allegations.

A very noteworthy Folio, published relatively (choose a date plausible for your saga) recently. Before this publication, longevity rituals had the same potency for both mundanes and Magi, i.e. Lab Total/10. Some say that the researcher, Agnes of Bonisagus was sponsored in her researches by House Tremere, and that they provided the … subjects … for her experimentation. No link has been proven.

Due to the popularity of this folio, the associated spells, are well disseminated despite their relative uselessness

Point Value 33

The discovery of target: Part was a revolution in Hermetic magic, as it does not fit well with the concept of platonic ideals and forms. Consequently three of the spells invented during the research were included, to show that it really was a new target, and not just a quirk of one spell. In addition the rest of the Commentary was devoted to this new discovery. The successful Maga (Thalia) was briefly Prima, but soon succumbed to warping. Her name is honoured to this day

The spells and tractatus could be used as sources of insight for the Philosphoical breakthroughs detailed in Art and Academe, page 11

Lab text: Pilum of Fire	CrIg 20	Side effect Caster’s hands smell of Sulphur
Ignem Tractatus	Quality 7	Notes on the effects of fire on the four Humours

Research is guided by fashion as much as policy. Sometimes there is great chatter about a single topic. The order was for a few years enthused about the possibilty of restoring fatigue, possibly by considering how to bolster the `fire' in one's blood. The Gift of Vigour was the only solid fruit of these researches.

Day 10 (sorry it is late, work intervened)

Document	Stats	Notes
Lab text: Cloak of Black Feathers	MuCo(an) 30	Side effect (see below)
Lab Text: The Many Hued Conflagration	MuIg 5	No imaginem requisite, Introduces base three guideline of making fire have different colours.
Lab Text: Calling the Council of the Trees	Re(In)He 45	See below
Magic Theory Tractatus	Quality 14	Included for the admirable clarity of the work
Aquam tractatus	Quality 5	notable water spirits of the Loire

The cloak of black feather spell originated from a potent spell, with the cloak providing the (necessary) prop. After experimentation a version was discovered , now standard, that still required the prop, but did not need the high magic theory that acts as the barrier to learning the potent spells of others.

The inclusion of Calling the Council of the trees, however was purely political. It is a powerful spell invented by a member of the collens, and he wanted it published to strengthen his case for his ascension to the primacy of House Bonisagus. It did not succeed.

Lab text: Eyes of the Eagle	InIm 25	Failed, but interesting attempt to break the limit of the lunar sphere
Vim Tractatus	Quality 12	Speculations on the Lunar sphere
Animal Tractatus	Quality 13	Raptors of the Alpine regions

Produced about fifty to seventy years after the end of the schism war, the breakthrough on teleportation guidelines was encouraged by the destruction of the Redcap’s permanent portal network. Previously long-distance travel was more of a hub and spoke model, and the Covenants that hosted the portals wielded considerable soft power. With the lack of long distance communication public spirited bonisagi put time into bring down the base. The political implications of this reduction in barriers to travel are still being played out.

Day 14

Document	Stats	Notes
Lab text: Summoning the Distant Image	CrIm 30	Potent Spell, Potency 8, Rock-crystal sphere on a hazel wand
Lab text: Panic of the Trembling heart	CrMe 15	Side effect: The fear is always about fear itself.
Imaginem Tractatus	Quality 13	On creating Sounds at distance.
Finesse Tractatus	Quality 13	On controlling images

Again after the end of the Schism war, keeping in touch was a problem. Other Magi sought to allow communication rather than travel to fix the problem. The potent version of Summoning the distant image would allow for lab rats to cast an otherwise fatiguing spell. It has not yet caught on as an order wide method due to penetration-of-aegis issues and scrying problems.

Day 15.

I tried to give a bit of back story to the current residents of Durenmar. Murion must have done something in her earlier career to warrant becoming Prima over and above her political skills.

Document	Stats	Notes

Rego Tractatus	Quality 10	On the possibility of substituting Finesse for Levels
Intellego Tractatus	Quality 7	On Mirrors.
Penetration Tractatus	Quality 6	On piercing illusions

Murion (the Current Prima of House Bonisagus) is known as an expert in Rego and Imaginem. She may be master of other Arts , but she has kept these to herself. The reason that she is known a as master of these is due to her early researches, published in various Folios. She was always concerned with tidying up Bonisagus’s great work rather than discovering new things.

In contrast Occultes of Bonisagus, was always interesting in the more esoteric applications and expanding the range of the Bonisagus’s great work. This was not his most notable work, but a fine contribution nonetheless. It is suspected that this work was part of his work to integrate Second Sight into Hermetic Theory. This possible negationof Murion’s speciality might explain why he has been sidelined. Or it may not. Neither has commented publically on this.

October 10, 2019, 3:06am #23

If I may be so bold, consider a tractatus on Magic Theory containing a new Shape or Material bonus, derived from the author's work in Vulgar Alchemy.

Don't worry I have those planned as well. I am playing in a campaign with a maga who has a re-jigged (better) Vulgar Alchemy, and I will slip some of her ideas in.

The Philosophy tractatus comment on the beauty of the numerical relation between Bonisagus’s theory and the natural world

This folio could provide insight for those wishing to research further improvement to the multiplier.

The Herbam Spells and the Magic theory tractatus were submitted by Vesta of Bonisagus, a Maga with a Potency in Gardens. The Art tractatus were found in the effects of a Magus Bonisagus who went into twilight whilst investigating the possibility of changing the Art that Vis is aligned to. There is no evidence that they succeded. Possibly there might be interesting artifacts in such a Magus's laboratory?

This was part of the research of Sheeta, a Maga in the Greater Alps tribunal.

She intimates in the tractatus, that further research is ongoing into castles in the sky, but this is not yet complete. Maybe her hermetic descendants might have carried on her work?

New item:

A Peaceful Castle: CrMe 34

Base 4, (create an emotion), +1 touch, +1structure, +2 sun, +2 size, +4 (make permanent)
This Brick when built into a structure of up to size +2 makes everyone feel at peace and contemplative. It was developed as part of the effort to show that Brick, provides a +5 form bonus to affect structures it is part of.

The other spells were part fo the research, but due to experimentation do not have target: room

Day 23

This presents a Minor breakthrough: One can now fix more than one arcane connection in a season. Further research might improve the number.

Also presented are two Spells that were developed by a Magus with Potent magic (self-transformation) but experimentation means that there is no minimum magic theory for the prop, it provides no bonus, but is necessary for the spell to work. They are included as curiosities.

Day 24

This one is for radically changing the setting.… In order to redesign Notatus's great creation Vesta of Bonisagus had to research a great deal of hermetic lore and seek outside influences. She finally succeeded in modifying the Aegis so that as well as providing magical protection it also removes the negative influence of the gift within its confines. What this will mean for the social impact of the order who can tell...

Basiraa was taken as an apprentice from Sicily and had a minor magical focus in seeing beyond the mundane. She managed to reduce the base to detect regio boundaries from 5 to 3. She has been cruelly forgotten by most hermetic histories.
Her Parens Hilda also contributed to this folio and took most of the credit. She claimed that, after a breakthrough in Artes Liberales that she made through considering regio levels, she postulated the existence of the tesseract.

A Modest Proposal on the Structure of Laboratory Texts: Once read, it allows the creation of clearer lab texts which offer a +6 bonus to the lab total of the reader (i.e. it has integrated Apt Lab Student).

Silent Study of the Mortal mind: No words or gestures needed.

Measure Pilum of Fire: As normal spell but caster rolls two fewer botch dice (min one)

Magical Plants and the Cultivation thereof: New Guideline of Create magical plant, Base 50, similar to that of creating a magical Animal.

Creation of the Spun-Glass Rose: creates a single rose-bush with glass flowers. It can propagate.

Insights from the Familiar, and their Application to the Talisman. Once learned, personal powers imbued into the talisman don't warp the user (just like powers in the familiar bond).

Stories from the Hearth. A series of insights from the hedge witches of Ireland, this means that the supernatural abilities of apprentices can be preserved if the Intellego Vim lab total equals the target, rather than doubling it.

While I like it, it does include three Hermetic Breakthroughs. Additionally all three have the potential of greatly increasing the power level of Magi. The ability to learn higher level spells/produce more powerful items easier, increased high powered Constent effects on the individual Magus, and far easier access to powerful apprentices will all change the Order.

That Folio would be hotly contested for who gets it next and/or gets a copy of it.
