We are safe in reproducing the above, as we only have Rincewind's pronunciation to go by. įortunately Rincewind is saved from allowing the eighth word to escape, which should have appeared in coruscating octarine and sealed the spell, by the timely arrival of Twoflower and Ninereeds the noble dragon. Just to live dangerously, the spell which lodged in Rincewind's head has eight words. Not too strange, at least not if you consider Rincewind traveling back in time, meeting the Creator and asking for an egg-and-cress sandwich not to be strange. Rincewind somehow caught the interest of one of the eight spells, which then decided to live in Rincewind's head for some time. The spells have a mind of their own and it is not the reader who might read the book, but it is the book which is reading the reader. The spells are what make the Octavo such a dangerous thing. It is very unsafe to stay in the room for too long and it is not recommended at all to read the book. The chain is locked with eight padlocks, one lock for every head of the eight orders of wizardry. The lectern in turn is in the centre of the extremely potent Seal of Eightfold Stasis as a further safeguard against the Octavo escaping. The book is located in a specially sealed room in the cellars of Unseen University and is chained to a lectern. Actually, he just forgot the book on Discworld when he was finished with his work. The Octavo contains the great eight spells which the Creator himself used to create the Discworld.
