The artifact/device/spellbook....YES, a spellbook with Celestial magic inside contains a spell that will be able to REMOVE the CURSE on this big-bad-evil-wizard-guy (heretofore "BBEWG")! The fact that someone broken into the vault containing the grimoire (which was also defended by golems that lie in charred bits all around the entrance) means they MUST have been using Hellfire magic to break the Celestial seals.Only the headmaster/head of the council (I presume you're having a Dumbledore kinda figure) knows the contents of the book and is able to surmise that, despite the abundance of powerful magics, the only thing someone might want the book is its god-like abjurations...BBEWG is trying to get his powers back! Might even be a nice bit of plot to have the devil council member lead  "Dumbledore" or the party to that conclusion...which could serve as a  tell/give away for the party, since according to the headmaster,  Devil-wizard-council-guy shouldn't know what's in the celestial tome.Now, the hunt is on for this wielder of fiendish power AND retrieving  the spellbook before BBEWG can perform the ritual to return his powers!Howzzat?--Steel Dragons</blockquote>
