Accuracies
If you're reading this, you're probably Alina. Here is the accurate canon:
One: the Traveller Sam is really Prince Sameth in a magic disguise.
Two: the green and silver book is the Book of the Dead which nobody but those of Abhorsen Blood can open and close and still be alive. If you don't have the Blood, you'd explode once you unclasped the cover.
Three: The Abhorsen's job is binding the Dead (walking corpses, basically) and/or sending them to die a final death. The Abhorsen is succeeded by the Abhorsen-in-Waiting.
Four: The Old Kingdom has magic. Ancelstierre, since it is separated from the Old Kingdom by a humungous Wall, has very little/none. The person cannot be a good Charter Mage if she was born in Ancelstierre.
Five: If you don't have a necromancer's set of seven magical bells, they are either sent to you (in the case of Abhorsen) or you must make them. You cannot BUY them off some dude.
Things that don't need a number: If anything sounds weird to you (Edge), it's most likely a place or thing in the Old Kingdom.
Necromancy is Free Magic, which is unconstricted, reeks of hot metal, and often used for evil, as opposed to Charter Magic. Charter magic is golden symbols, therefore it is good. Also, Charter is always capitalized.
Mogget is a sarcastic Free Magic being (cat, sometimes an albino dwarf, sometimes a column of white fire) who was bound to serve the Abhorsen (he was freed at the end, but still retains the shape of a cat).
The correct spelling is Wyverley College.
In canon, if you spell your sword by yourself, you do this: Y-O-U-R S-W-O-R-D. If you enchant/work magic/put spells on your sword all by your onesies, it takes months of patience, practice, and draining of energy.
I'm taking this down when all is said and done.
