I was actually thinking of putting its power in the DM's lap. "Lets see what my good book says" Sometimes a phrase could be utterly useless now, but useful later. Kind of like Mama murhy's sight from fallout 4. or something as simlple as a note from an explorer on edible moss. I could always make it a magic 8-ball.

Well, as I won't have any more power over what happens in the game than anyone else I think the decision could go to whoever will resolve your actions. I do believe that it would mean a lot of unnecessary posts that are just focused on looking something up in the book and not really contributing to the story. 
We could simply complicate the book itself, say that it is written in a way that will make it seem like nonsense to anyone who is not a discoverer, and so the whole thing is written in verse, hard to interpret, sometimes dealing with outright nonsense... 
I don't want you to drop the book, just tone down the aspect of "all-knowing" to something that you can use in the game.

You slightly hit on a personal pet peeve of mine with the way that was worded

Sorry about that, I knew I took a risk and apparently blew it, will keep it in mind for the future.

I really get where you're coming from. My first forum quickly evolved into one where length, mass, quantity was idealised, but sadly quality was sometimes overlooked. I have dozens of characters saved from that time, sometimes pages upon pages of stuff and I really wonder how I had time for it all, because I usually wrote one in a day as well as the in-game posts. My first game here on the guild was in the advanced section and I truly had a blast, it wasn't until later when the slower pace of adv started to bore me that I moved down to casual, and it is a big leap! People in cas generally does not put in close to the same time and thought into their games, characters and posts as adv, even some "high casual" games can't even compare to "low advanced". 

Limiting yourself, as a writing technique, is not for everyone. Not just because it can be hard, but because some people, like you, don't find it enjoyable. That's just a fact, if everyone liked the same thing we wouldn't have hundreds of different games running in all the different sections here on the guild. I really do not want to lose you as a player, because I really think that you can bring some interesting stuff to it. On the other hand, as a GM I can't justify holding a player back. If you feel that you can't play this game, then I think you should find one that you'll enjoy. You should give the advanced a look, there are some games that are truly worth the time.

Thanks for stepping in and giving Knighthawk a push in the right direction btw.

Oh, sorry. The whole thing with the character-tab is... Ok, it's not new anymore, but I haven't GMed that many games since it was introduced so it hasn't become a habit to sent people over there. My bad, feel free to move your dudette to the char-tab.
