Graphics

The Binding of Ipos is a demonic tome. The cover is aged leather adorned with an oval frame with purple demonic runes at the center of which is a purple eye with a yellow iris that moves around as it observes its surroundings. On each of the four corners of the book are decorative metallic demonic hands with three clawed fingers and a thumb. When drawn, the book floats in front of the user and opens to the bookmark, revealing pages with purple glowing text and diagrams.

• A ominous audio aura and faint unintelligible whispering can be heard while the weapon is drawn.

Trivia

Visual bug of still displaying the floating book while mounted.

• The weapon was released with Living World Season 4 Episode 1, Daybreak.
• Ipos is one of the powerful princes described in the Ars Goetia. Ipos is known to reveal all things, past, present, and future.
• The text on The Binding of Ipos is made of a unique alphabet.
• Just like Bolt and The Shining Blade, among various other things, this focus was designed by Chelsea Mills.
• There was a bug effect when using a mount while having The Binding of Ipos drawn resulting in the floating book still being visible. This was fixed around May 2020.
