Dani’s Diary – 1

Day 7

I have decided to keep a record because it has been a WEEK and I still can’t read the bloody books. I think I’m starting to repeat experiments, so it would probably be a good idea to write down everything I’ve tried so far:

Application of lemon juice and heat (to one corner of one page)
Fae-based reveal spell
Elf-based reveal spell
Dwarf-based reveal spell
Gnome-based reveal spell
Application of Fairy dust
Attempted chemical analysis of a page to detect ink, etc. (inconclusive)
Dragon-based reveal spell
Yelling at it
Yelling at it in several languages
Arranging the books in a particular order
Reading by moonlight (phases tested: waxing crescent, half, waxing gibbous)
Holy water

I have several more ideas but it will take time to either get the materials or the permissions needed. In the meantime I will be conducting a comparative analysis of the book covers with others in the library. If I can narrow it down to even a realm, never mind a time period… If only I could get my hands on Tessa!
