Grimoire
From Charmed
Simply stated, the Grimoire is the exact opposite of the Halliwell Book of Shadows. The Grimoire is a large brown book with an unknown demonic symbol of an upside down pentagram and skull on the cover. The pages of the Grimoire are said to be blackened by its evil. Much like the Book of Shadows, the Grimoire possesses the power to protect itself from its enemies or anything Good. This Evil Book of Shadows used by the current leader of the Underworld. Whenever a new Source is chosen, a coronation is held to declare the new power and its spells and incantations are written in Latin. It makes only a few appearances and is later orbed under a mountain of rock in the West Andes by Leo.
In the episode Bride and Gloom The Charmed Ones' Book of Shadows began to change itself into a grimoire once the girls turned to evil, even transferring once good spells into new dark spells.
