"The Book" true name

"The Book" true name is "True Magic" as seen in Chapter 1 of the Divine Science pack. Is half of a bigger book called "Book of Abraham". I suggest the name of this article is changed to "True Magic" since that is the actual name of the book.

Should we make an article concerning both halves or separate articles of each half? Sekuiya 12:07, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe one of us got this wrong, but the "Book of Abramelin" is not fictional and does not refer to "The Book". The books written by Abraham of Worms are probably only based on it. "True Magic" and "Divine Science" are the actual titles of his books and nowhere does it say that Bombastus' book is "True Magic". I might be wrong though since I just started reading the memories. In that case: Sorry! StPerkele 17:39, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

In Chapter 1 - Maria Amiel you can read these line:

• Finally, the professor relents. "The book is incomplete." His voice is barely audible. "For the answers you seek... you will need the other half."
• I spend a week in the university's library, but find nothing concerning the other part of Bombastus' tome, which he believes to be titled "Divine Science."
• I learn that Abraham's knowledge was divided in two manuscripts: "True Magic" and "Divine Science!" We must find the book Flamel used! We must go to Paris!

In Chapter 4 - Frater V.O.V. you can read this line:

• Well, as you know, Giovanni had only one part of the now rather famous "Book of Abraham." Unfortunately for him, he never found the original "Divine Science" part.

Having in mind this info you can clearly say that the book that Bombastus had was "True Magic". Maybe what we could redo is change the title of the topic to "The Book of Abraham" and create articles for both parts of said book. Sekuiya 20:52, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Just finished reading and I'm afraid you're wrong. The "Book of Abramelin" was just a translation of the two original books, the ones that were probably created by TWCB. Similar to the later translations. In the memories, Giovanni only refers to the original book as "THE BOOK". They only try to find "Divine Science", because it is based upon the other missing half, hoping that Flamel possesses the original one. Read my other forum post about this as well. In case you still shouldn't believe me: Abraham, the main person of the book, is said to have lived during the 15th century. The Book is TWCB-technology though, much older.
