The Red Book of Life is the Raposa (or mayor) copy similar to a user account on a computer. It contains all of the non-vital creations that would aid the Raposa in survival. Typically, the Book of Life is only entrusted to the Mayor of [[Rapoville]], and this is the Book we see most often throughout the events of ''[[Drawn to Life]]''.

The Red Book of Life is the Raposa (or mayor) copy similar to a user account on a computer. It contains all of the non-vital creations that would aid the Raposa in survival. Typically, the Book of Life is only entrusted to the Mayor of [[Rapoville|Capital]], and this is the Book we see most often throughout the events of ''[[Drawn to Life]]''.

While the Red Book is still powerful on its own, it is incapable of creating life with souls like the Green Book can. All complex life entered into the Red Book will manifest instead as [[Shadow|Shadow Constructs]] and may result in the Red Book attempting to absorb a part of the Raposa's soul who performed the action in order to fulfill the order. This results in both the corruption of the [[Wilfre|Raposa]] and the soul-less Shadow Constructs.

Although the removal of any page from the Red Book of Life can prove to be an existentialist threat, such damage is not immediately life-threatening as one would expect given the damage to the Book of Life in the first game. Since all vital pages are stored in the Green Book, damage to the Red Book is survivable. This explains why the Raposa world was able to survive given the absence of the [[Sun]], [[Moon]], [[Rain Cloud|Rain]] and other seemingly vital processes. These objects still ''physically'' existed (present within the Green Book), however their properties controlled by the Red Book were muted with the loss of these pages. For example, dense cloud cover still existed even without the influence of weather such as [[Rain Cloud|Rain Clouds]], enough to block out the sun, which still produced enough light to support some life and enforce a stable planetary orbit. Once these pages were restored, their effects became fully apparent.

In short, it appears the Red Book only directly controls small-scale physical objects on Neve or the ''effects'' of large-scale creations, while the Green Book controls the variables that support life, and life itself, in the Raposa universe. The Book of Life would have been entrusted to the Raposa to help them survive in an hostile world by allowing those trusted to hold the Book the ability to manipulate properties of the world advantageous to the species.

In short, it appears the Red Book only directly controls small-scale physical objects on Neve or limited ''effects'' of large-scale creations, while the Green Book controls the variables that support life, and life itself, in the Raposa universe. The Book of Life would have been entrusted to the Raposa to help them survive in an hostile world by allowing those trusted to hold the Book the ability to manipulate properties of the world in a manner advantageous to the species.
