The Elysian Manuscript is a book filled with ancient Arcanist knowledge. Its foreword was written by Raban Maur, a renowned and genius arcanist from the past. It was thought to be lost to time, until the year 468 LV, when the Freelancer who silenced the Heart of Rage, found it with the help of arcanists Matti, Erryl and Sumner. The entire manuscript has not been decoded yet, but because of it, some ancient Shaper Relics have been discovered.

The priceless, lost volume of ancient Arcanist knowledge. Finding the manuscript would bring wide acclaim and many have conducted obsessive, failed searches.
Arcanist Dac Semper once wrote: “I spent a year poring over old documents, hoping that I could be the one to bring the manuscript's wisdom back to the world. All my searching was fruitless, and I chose to surrender and accept that it would never be found. We must all grow up sometime, and shed our childish notions.”

In our explorations, we discovered a class of Shaper instrument, which we now refer to as the Complecting Inciter.
This instrument was often attached to a construct as a modifier, augmenting or multiplying the effect of the base construct. Removing the Inciter from the attached construct often resulted in unforeseen consequences. In one case, the Arcanist leading the expedition found himself able to perceive events occurring in four places simultaneously. In another, a nearby wolven was struck by a stray bolt of energy and grew a second head. Observing Arcanists were almost as confused by the development as the affected wolven.
Research on Complecting Inciters and their safe usage is ongoing. Currently, we have focused our efforts on a stable inciter located within a large Shaper structure in Bastion.

The Arcanist's first obligation is to humanity. We seek knowledge, so that it may cast light into shadowed corners, and bring order to chaos. Thus, I have compiled my work and that of esteemed colleagues into this manuscript, hoping that it proves useful to all in solving the brilliant, vexing puzzle of our world. May your path always lead you to a greater understanding.
