Trivia

  • The Bombinomicon in the Underworld of Eyeaduct has text written on the back, along with a discount price tag of $6.66, and the spine listing it as the 15th edition. The text on the back reads as follows;


Inked in the blood, bound in the hide and written on the stolen paper of British kings! With over 400 pages of spells, enchantments, recipes and anecdotes about blowing things up, the Bombinomicon is a must-have for the practicing explosives aficionado and demolitions expert alike. Now in its fifteenth printing, every copy of the Bombinomicon is guaranteed to be possessed by an angry talking ghost.


"If ye gaze at one tome this year, MAKE IT NOT THIS ONE" - Merasmus the Magician

"Unputdownable! This book's jaws are like a vice." - Gravel Pit Arts Monthly

"If you like the dark arts and explosions, this might very well be the best book you read all year." - Demolition Gazette

  • The name "Bombinomicon", a portmanteau of Bombing and Template:W, is a reference to the fictional grimoire from the Template:W films which was also had a face, was bound in flesh, and inked in blood. The name of the book from the film series was taken, as a tip of the hat, from the works of Template:W, which feature a grimoire of the same name.
