A reason. Oh yes, yes of course there's a reason.

[Lezaford picks up his own copy of a grimoire and holds it up demonstratively.]

These aren't quite authentic. Well, one of them is. Which one remains to be seen. They're very like the Grimoire of the Rift aren't they?

[He flips through a few pages, then replaces the book on the desk.]

Luso's was one of a kind, but there is now another one quite like it somewhere. Somewhere. At least, I think there is. These, you'll find, are not my work. I'd venture to say some mage went looking for adventure and accidentally created some for all of us.

[The old sage certainly is flip about all this.]
