Renamon looked at both books, they looked rather similar, except that one was written in english and the other in atleast another language for what the vixen could imagine.
"I see that they are written atleast in different languages, but there is something else that gives a feeling of something special on them" she said to the librarian

"Shouldn't you be doing ferry work?" Patchouli asked.
'Oh, Shiki-sama let me off the hook for today and tomorrow. We're preparing for the trip to Hawaii on earth. And yes, that place called Earth exists. We've been there. Oh, and Renamon, if you want a safe way to revive your friends, you might want to talk to shiki-sama. She can bring your friends back. But that would depend on the morality of your friends. Not to mention the fact that you have to, you know, separate your soul from that of your friends. So, listen to Patchy. She may know how to revive your friends the hard way."
I looked at the book Patchouli had.
"On second thought, unless you learned gibberish, you might have a hard time. Hey, something understandable. What's it say?"

"Here, how about this? What do you see in this book?"
The book that Patchouli showed John also had the gibberish on one of the books shown to Renamon, except that the fonts looked dimmer.
"I see text in another language, but it's a little dim."

"Okay. This is the basic principle of spell grimoires." Patchouli put her book down.
"Grimoires can only be read by someone who has similar or greater magic power than the writer of the grimoire. The first book that I showed the fox was a basic fireball magic, and she had enough potential to cast the spell without risking her life. The second book, in gibberish, is a spell I created 80 years ago: Undine Princess. The gibberish means that you do not have enough arcane power to cast the spell."
"Now, what does the dimness have to do with spell requirement? Truth be told, it is possible to read what is on the magus book even if it is in gibberish: if you know your Runic language. However, magic spells are powerful: side effects of a failed spell results from minor dizziness to instant death, depending on how dim the Runes are."
"To me, these two books are clear as day. However, that book you hold: Rasputin's tome: Regenesis, is still very dim book. To you guys, it will look as if there are no words on it. If you try to even read the very very dim Runes on it, your soul will be sucked in, forever trapped."

John then decided to ask a question.
"Can you see anything in Rasputin's book, and if so, would you be willing to help us?"

"Again, I think I know a guy who can do it without risk. I can simply call him and he'll be here in seconds." Hank commented.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

"Then that puts 4 options." Patchouli said.
"First option is to have multitudes of energy source, each at least 3 times stronger in magic than I, focus at the tome spell only. There are several that is in Gensokyo, however, the fact that if they will help you or not is undetermined."
"Another option is to grow your magical power to surpass mine. Right now, the spell inside Regenesis is 12% visible. Therefore, if you gain magical power 8 times greater than mine, you can recite the spell. However, gaining that much energy in a short time will explode your physical body."
"Third option is to contact the Spirit of Rasputin himself. I believe he is stationed in Hakugyokurou."
"Or you can follow the red-glassed man's plan. I doubt that Improbability Drive will change someone's magical prowess, though."

"Actually, he's been around since way before the Improbability Drives." Hank retorted.
