## What is The Grand Grimoire?

The Grand Grimoire is a spellbook app that was written to allow players to quickly lookup spells. Most rounds in a game are time-consuming due to the nature of finding the spells in the Players Handbook. The app contains spells from multiple formats such as D&D 5e (5th edition), D&D 3e (3rd edition),  Pathfinder, Rifts (Palladium) and World of Warcraft. The RPG or Role Play systems vary in these formats, but this app will help you with most of them. The spells in each book can be searched in many ways. Such as Level, Class, School, and even a partial name search. The spell list will generally pop quick, from there you can sort the spell by Name, School or Level. Clicking on the spell will give you a full list of the spell.

This app does not replace the book but would be a good asset to the books and games. All players should support Wizards of the Coast, Paizo Publishing & Sword, and Sorcery Studios by purchasing their media.

FAQ:

Question: Why does the app disappear during the load screen?
Answer: The power management on the device interferes with the app and needs to be turned off.

### 4/5 — Incredibly useful, but no source books

*2022-03-28*

I adore this app and use it quite often for my games. However, when I search for the source books of some spells, I can’t find the source. Some spells listed are incredibly obscure and thus it would be helpful to know where they came from. I will be using this app for quite some time though!

### 5/5 — Useful and convenient

*2021-11-08*

The struggle over books during a game is a thing of the past! With this app I can quickly find my spells in the games I play, saving so much time and hassle struggling through numerous books. I use it all the time and can’t imagine a game without it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great review. ^_^
