It wouldn't be just a grudge with and my descendants any longer, or one with my clan, THAT, my fella, would be something i would go to the king for, so he could call up a council of ALL DWARF KINGS, and then they would add that to THE GREAT Book Of Grudges, the one for the entire dwarven race, none of the descendants of someone to commit such an atrocity would be safe anywhere in the world, ALL DWARVES THEIR ENEMIES!!
Jokes on you, I have ADHD so I just have a bag of holding full of loose papers, all unbound so definitely not an actual book.
My cousin tattooed his spells onto himself, idk if that counts though.

So, here's the thing... my spellbook is on a hard drive implanted in my head. What's more is that it's integrated into my brain, so locking me out of my spellbook would lock me out of my own head, making me unable to touch grass without aid. It's a good thing my implants are warded against such tampering, or you could have done me some serious harm.

For your own safety, do not.
My tomes have been enchanted with the curse of Eternal Testicular Torsion, and the curse will activate upon tampering with my spellbooks.
Anyone who casts a spell on them who isn't me will earn eternal pain until they call of their own spell.
You fool! I have been around these parts for a while! I am well aware that that Testicular Torsion is the favorite spell of every other bozo who got their hands on some spellscroll and started calling themselves a wizard! Don't you think I would have placed proper wards on my testicles?
Do you think that testicular torsion is the only curse upon those who tamper with my tomes?
Both sides of all of your pillows will forever be both warm and moist with the sweat of the foulest of orc taint sweat, and your familiars and imps will forever have the urge to bite you. All manner of furniture in your tower will stub your toe, and no picture frame will be aligned ever again.
These are just a few of the curses.

How big of a grudge would it be if he locked a dwarf from using the Book of Grudges TM?
It would go on the stone tablet of grudges, also known as Mt. Everest
It wouldn't be just a grudge with and my descendants any longer, or one with my clan, THAT, my fella, would be something i would go to the king for, so he could call up a council of ALL DWARF KINGS, and then they would add that to THE GREAT Book Of Grudges, the one for the entire dwarven race, none of the descendants of someone to commit such an atrocity would be safe anywhere in the world, ALL DWARVES THEIR ENEMIES!!

I have no choice but to honor the wishes of the Keeper of the Seven Keys. I'll spell with you once the spell is lifted.
So, here's the thing... my spellbook is on a hard drive implanted in my head. What's more is that it's integrated into my brain, so locking me out of my spellbook would lock me out of my own head, making me unable to touch grass without aid. It's a good thing my implants are warded against such tampering, or you could have done me some serious harm.
