Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified grimoire as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'
There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting grimoire. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.
edge: A Goblin Sideways Look
In the goblin underground, edge is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as engine. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

The goblin verdict on grimoire is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. grimoire has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
