Eric(a): "What the..."
Natalie: "A little girl just came out of the book!?"
???: "Darn, I almost got you..."
Isabelle: "Just as I thought. This is a rare inanimate-type magico. This variant takes the form of a book and drains the willpower of its readers. For obvious reasons its code name is Cursed Grimoire."
Natalie: "What a sneaky magico!"
Eric(a): "Wait... since it was disguised as a book... Did you kidnap Ariana?"
Cursed Grimoire: "I did, and if you want to find out how to get her back, it's written on these pages! Just come closer and read."
Eric(a): "Not a chance."
Natalie: "Prepare to be punished!"

Drops:
Cursed Grimoire is the Magico boss of the Sealed Archives. Cursed Grimoire's stats are at about the dividing line between the early and mid-game. She is slightly stronger than Alice and Veronica in their boss battles but you will have a full party by this point unlike for them. Cursed Grimoire shares the same Sharp and Fire weaknesses of her subordinates, making her susceptible to Natalie.
In her repertoire, Cursed Grimoire has many moves capable of inflicting a variety of status effects that makes her very troublesome, a couple of which are worth taking special note of. Her spells Be Silent! and I can't hear you! are capable of inflicting the Silenced status effect, something which is extremely troubling if it happens to Natalie as she is both the healer as well as the main Fire user. Make sure to carry a lot of healing items in case Natalie is unable to do so, as there is no easy way to cure silence.
Halfway into the fight, Cursed Grimoire may also begin to cast Death Wail which carries a 25% chance of Instant Death. This means that ideally the latter half of her health should be wiped out in as few turns as possible. Make any necessary preparations such as healing and buffing prior to getting her to that point so less actions are wasted on them once in the danger zone. Make sure to bring Fairy's Dust as well in case someone important gets unlucky, unless you are far enough in the game to have both Shiny Restoration as well as Salvation. Although if you are in the latter case, then your party is likely powerful enough to not have much trouble with this boss to begin with.
Losing the Battle
Losing against Cursed Grimoire will have her shrinking Eric(a) to the size of a bisque doll. Escaping out the window before she can do anything further, the teleportation spell triggers shortly after, returning Eric(a) to Natalie's room. With the Cutie Knights and Isabelle gathered to inspect Eric(a)'s new state, Isabelle will end up restoring Eric(a)'s normal size despite Alice's disappointment. Even after she is done though, a stage of the Height Reduction Transformation will remain, possibly due to an interaction with leaving the Library and its space expansion magic outside of the normal entryway.
