Origin[]

The origin of the artifact is unknown to Mr. Kipling and the warehouse

Today[]

Mr. Kipling managed to retrieve this artifact after using the key he received to break into a warehouse run by a mob that specialized in finding and using artifacts. He managed to take a few objects (and luckily their abilities have been found out before hand) before calling the police on the group. Now the book resides in the warehouse.

The warehouse does have a second first edition copy of the book that does not have an ability.
