This reminds me of the wizard Rincewind in the Discworld series, who read a forbidden magic book and got the very very dangerous spell directly put in his mind.
It slides in some necessary power scale explanations, especially with you-know-who’s plan at the end of the series. I would have liked some information on what does the corroding, how. But I guess that Oliver wasn’t evil enough to come up with that part. Even The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy had the Total Perspective Vortex. Just like the Necromomicon, there would have to be some way to explain your way out of normal, and once you’ve looked outside the box, all the answers of the universe are too horrific for you.
And no-one ever calls Lilly out on opening fire a foot above the super valuable book. How normal is it to fire a warning shot off the bow of Ryn?

Yup, Lili goes through some really shitty experience but we don’t really get explained how bad it was.

Actually, the way Total Perspective Vortex was destroying minds was by making them realize how small they are compared to the universe.
That wouldn’t be an issue in Gaia. Gaia’s whole universe is SMALL.

This is a good way of setting stakes in terms of spell power levels.
