Veila's focus on her work eventually took a toll on her relationships as she began visiting friends and attending village festivals less and less. Though those close to her urged her to give up on magic, she pressed on nonetheless. Years past, and a more mature Veila finally laid the groundwork for her next project: The Codex Perditus. Though her older spells and innovations were revolutionary, they all shared the same flaw: They were inaccessible to novices and required a disproportionate amount of magic to complete. For basic spells, this was no issue. However, more useful spells—such as the one to create Warp Gates—required years of training and the magic cost meant only a few could be created per year.

The Codex Perditus would solve both issues. A thorough document detailing all the spells Veila knew, the Codex would aid the understanding of even the most inept magic users. However, the tome would serve one larger purpose: to perform incantations on behalf of the user. This meant that even the most expensive spells, such as creating Warp Gates, could be performed by moderately skilled magic users without draining the local magic supply, allowing for even larger magic potential. The idea was sound, but it lacked one element: a steady source of powerful enough magic to fuel the tome.
