Ilius stole most of his master's notes regarding the various magical items Petalichus has crafted over the years. All told, the notes are 232 pages and discuss 6 different enchanted items. Ilius has seen some of these items in action, and knows Petalichus used some of them to murder his enemies from afar. These lab texts are written in Petalichus's personal shorthand, which needs to be decoded before Ilius can read the texts. Stealing these notes was a Hermetic crime, but Ilius is betting Petalichus won't prosecute because he doesn't want Quaesitors nosing around his business.
