The Grand Grimoire is a powerful grimoire with immense frightening magic, and a key element in the 1989 supernatural horror movie Warlock.
The Grand Grimoire has been discarded into three pieces and remained inactive since. However, one user known as The Warlock, a powerful satanic sorcerer, seeks the hold of those three remaining pieces and attempts to use it to destroy anything or anyone in his path, and also in his unholy mission, to one day to doom all of creation.
History
The history of the Grand Grimoire is shrouded in mystery. It is not really known about who used it or if anyone else uses it. But, judging with how old and long ago the book has written by the all-powerful fallen archangel Zamiel (better known as Satan and The Devil among his many names) while he rules over his vast eternal prison Hell filled with countless tortured souls of the condemned, though it is unclear if the book is written on Earth or in Hell. It could say otherwise, according to legend, many individuals including those with magic, sought out the Grand Grimoire to read it contents, learn its secrets and unlock its dangerous magic powers, but none have succeeded. The spellbook has been seemingly not heard from the world of the living for it has either hidden away buried in one place or has been removed many times from one location to the next in the passing years to come.
In Boston (originally referred to as the Township of Boston), Massachusetts (originally known as the Colony of Massachusetts) on November 15th of the year 1691 A.D., The Warlock, who has been ruthlessly seeking the Grand Grimoire in secret while murdering people including local witchhunter Sir Giles Redferne's late beloved wife Marion, was imprisoned within a dungeon at the top of a tower in the town and about to be sentenced to death in the next 24 hours. Before his tomorrow's execution could be carried as scheduled, a huge and forboding dark storm cloud emerged at around noon and looms over the already-terrified town of Boston only to swirl over the prison tower; this horrid storm was a sign of The Devil's power intervening with the Warlock's incarceration. Giles Redferne, who saw both the demonic storm cloud and a disappearing inscribed hex mark (a pentagram in a circle represnting the active presence of magic) on the wooden entrance door on his way out, ran back in haste and worry towards the upper dungeon to see the grinning Warlock slowly disappearing into a swirling tornado-like magic portal while almost successfully breaking free of his small witch thumb lockes binding his hands and toes with chains. The widowed witchhunter refused to accept the unholy criminal's escape and chases after him by running towards the mysticla power, but neither of these foes have any idea that this vortex would leap forward through time, propelling them 297 years into the future and landed both seperately somwhere on the streets of the late 20th century Los Angeles in California. The 3 town elders and their scribe, who were presiding over the Warlock's trail for his horrendous crimes against the terrorized citizens of Boston, ran quickly with a prison guard back to the top of the tower only to find an empty dungeon with no sign of either Redferne or the Warlock. As for the "Grand Grimoire" later immediately divided into 3 missing pieces, instead of its pieces all buried on hallowed ground somewhere in Massachusetts, they were instead hidden away in 3 separate locations across the United States of America, a mistake that one day be followed by grave danger in nearly the next 30 decades later.
At around midnight on November 15th, 1988 A.D., upon his magical arrival in the comtemporary "City of Angels", the Warlock alone abruptly came through the shattered window of a suburban house-like flat occupied by a sassy insulin-using waitress named Kassandra and his friendly gay roommate Chaz. On the morning hours later, while Kassandra left to work at the local Cafe505 in LA, the Warlock He cuts a black-and-silver Scorpio balbal ring out of his right hand and takes it to control the door to prevent the innocent man from running off and bites his whole tongue off and leaves leading to the man brutally dying from blood loss from his tongue. He discovers a female psychic guru at the local Metaphysical Book store in downtown Los Angeles along the way. And he gets the psychic guru to summon ? and eventually forms into a demonic monstous look who demands The Warlock to find the three missing pieces of a book. And The Warlock cuts the eyes of the remains of the woman's corpse and uses their eyes as a compass to locate the three pieces to create the Grand Grimoire.
He gets some elemental powers and abilities from The Devil and parts of the pieces he eventually finds to construct the Grand Grimoire that he would use to try to obstruct the world.
He eventually finds the pieces and forms them into the Grand Grimoire that spells out briefly shining text saying "ROAISHA" as he asks for the name of God. As he tries to use the book to destroy all matter within the world he is stopped by two people and is killed by one of them being Kassandra who injects insulin within him causing his veins visably pop out thus leading to his fate and no longer in active possession within the Grand Grimoire.
The two interveners take the The Grand Grimoire and disposes of the book burying it. And the book remains inactive since then.
