The Spell Book door: triple-tap the MY PD header in settings and the panel flips to the Spell Book; triple-tap the SPELL BOOK header to flip back. No menu item, no button.

--- title: "The App — The Spell Book" description: "Every spell documented: how to open the Spell Book (triple-tap MY PD), how spells stack, and what each of the 23 pills actually does — from Celestial Tracker to Tribunal to the ???? button." category: "app" keywords: ["spell book", "spells", "view modifiers", "panopticon", "tarot", "tribunal", "gossip", "sybil net"] last_updated: "2026-09-20" --- # The App — The Spell Book The Spell Book is where PriceOS keeps its lenses: pill-toggleable modifiers that change how you *see* the platform rather than what's on it. Spells stack, persist across sessions, and follow your account. Half the fun is discovering what a combination does to a page you thought you knew — this page removes the guesswork about what each pill does, while leaving the platform's genuine mysteries mysterious (they're mysteries on purpose). **How:** Triple-tap the MY PD header in settings; triple-tap the SPELL BOOK header to flip back. ## Opening it **Triple-tap the MY PD header in settings.** The settings panel flips to the Spell Book; triple-tap the SPELL BOOK header to flip back. That's the whole trick — no menu item, no button. Casting or dispelling any spell announces itself in a toast, and a few carry incantations: *☽ Reading the Birth Skies ☽*, *⑃ Rumor Has It… ⑃*, *∾ The Net Is Cast ∾*. Spells are per-user and presentational — nothing here changes your data or anyone else's view of the platform, with the two deliberate exceptions noted below (Deactivate and Echo Chamber, which change what *reaches* you and how *you* appear). ## Reading lenses — the art and the market, re-seen - **Celestial Tracker ♃** — every Output's astrological **big three** appears as a silent glyph run on card edges and Output titles: sun sign · the TRUE mint-moon disc (its shade is the moon's real illumination the night the Output was minted) · rising sign. Computed by the platform's real natal engine from each Output's mint moment; hold on the glyphs for the reading. No words render — the order is the label. - **Stargazing ⍟** — the celestial backdrop: the platform's astrological substrate comes forward and the room turns night-sky. - **Aura ⦿** — every Output wears a breathing halo sampled from its **own** colors, with rarity scaling the glow's reach. The grid becomes a field of presences. - **Fog** — artworks arrive fogged and reveal as you reach them; drifting wisps replace certainty. The pill's own label wears the fog. - **Degen ⚔** — the anti-lens: **the art is deliberately absent.** Every tile becomes a data slab — #id, ❖ rarity score and edition rank, primary trait, Fate, ask — and the sort snaps to price. Shop like a terminal; the art waits at the end. - **Price Ghost ᗝ** — the price layer goes spectral: numbers haunt the interface instead of leading it. - **Gossip Protocol ⑃** — the feed's one shared sentence is retold as plain-English rumor — every event gets one of dozens of tellings, seeded per event so a story keeps its wording everywhere it appears. Actors, links, and the exact price survive the retelling. The [Tribunal](#instruments--the-deep-reads) is deliberately immune: the court record stays sworn. - **Redacted! @** — strips identity from the interface. Browse the market without the who. ## Instruments — the deep reads - **Tribunal ⚻** — every Output's +More gains a case file: the chain of custody with per-hand tenure and flip reads, the money, what's on the block, standing offers, the parties' per-wallet in/out/net, numbered findings of fact, and a double-struck ruling stamp (ON THE BLOCK · UNDER CLAIM · TIGHTLY HELD · AT REST). Built entirely from the record already on the page; anything the record doesn't hold is named OFF THE RECORD, never invented. - **Sybil Net ∾** — [Cartography](/docs/cartography) grows a forensic layer: animated dotted lines chain wallet clusters linked by real unpriced wallet-to-wallet transfers. Focus a wallet and the map narrows to its net. - **Arbitrage Map ⇄** — listed Outputs asking **below their trait cohort's average ask** wear a live discount badge (*⇄ −38%*) and a heat ring that scales with the gap. Cohorts come from real listings only; an Output with no comparables never flags. - **Tarot Spread ▯▯▯** — a themed reading: three real Major Arcana drawn into Past / Present / Future, each card wearing one of your own Collected Outputs as its face, with genuine upright and reversed meanings woven into a read. Deterministic per day, with a re-roll. **Unlocks at 22 Outputs collected** — below that, the cards lie face down with your count. - **Spite Book ⌧** — your private grudge ledger of *names*. Write a real @user or project onto a page of the book and that name renders struck through — dimmed, italic, crossed out — everywhere it appears across the site: their listings, bids, feed activity, and holder chips. Scratch a name out to lift it. - **The Watch ⬬** — a floating live-stat chip that follows you; its watch hits route into your [Pings](/docs/pings/overview). - **Audience ●** — the live-presence layer: the breathing dot and headcount on Project pages, including yours. See [Projects & Minting](/docs/app/projects-and-minting). - **Panopticon ⎌** — the all-seeing view of who is where, platform-wide, live. Turning it on requires explicit consent — watching the room means being visible in it — which is exactly the trade the next spell exists to break. ## Wards — controlling what reaches you - **Offer Shield ⍲** — incoming offers under **half the collection floor** are silently kept out of your Pings. Casting it raises a visible ward. It fails open: if the floor can't be read, nothing is ever swallowed. - **Echo Chamber ≫** — mutuals only: pings and the artist roster filter to the people you follow who follow you back. The toast says what it means: `MUTUALS ONLY`. - **Deactivate ⊖** — the public ragequit, both halves. Visitors to your profile see an understated *account deactivated* shell — while you keep using PD normally, with a quiet cue that the veil is up. You also stop broadcasting to the Panopticon and Audience counts: one-way glass, you still see the room. - **The Hammer ⟙** — the mute. Its badge counts what you've silenced. Always the last pill, by convention. ## The cast - **Digital Familiar ⚝** — a small creature accompanies you around the platform; tap it to meet it, customize it in settings. - **NPC** — the off-screen cast wanders in: the platform's regulars, aware of its surfaces, occasionally offering commentary of debatable value. ## The mystery One pill reads **????**. It toggles nothing, reveals nothing, and answers every tap with `????`. The documentation team has nothing further at this time. ## Spells vs. display modes Display modes ([Settings & Display](/docs/app/settings-and-display)) change how the interface *renders* — light, dark, zen. Spells change what the interface *foregrounds*. Modes are ergonomics; spells are worldviews. They compose freely: a Celestial + Gossip + Aura session is a genuinely different platform from a Degen + Price Lens one, and both are the same ledger underneath. ## Further reading - [Settings & Display](/docs/app/settings-and-display) - [The Cartography](/docs/cartography) — where Sybil Net draws - [Achievements](/docs/app/achievements) — the lore category rewards finding things like these
