A grimoire is a magical spellbook. In the Western tradition, grimoires are handwritten collections of spells for casting various magical arts. A related term is “almanac”, which is a type of medieval calendar which also included magical spells.

That sounds interesting. Can I buy one or can I make my own?
user
A number of such books exist, but they’re rare. It’s possible that a person could make their own, but you’d need a lot of skill and experience to pull off an authentic style.

Where can I find one?
user
I’m afraid I don’t know where you could find one!  I do know of some places you might get ideas for magical spells, like some magic squares in magic square books.  You might also find some good ones in books on physics and art.
