"Is this really a good idea, Doc?" Asked Ren as he and Doc snuck into Grian's "secret" lab under the builders Hermitville base, they had seen him enter earlier that day with a peculiar looking book. And the builder had looked mighty fine suspicious while doing it.

The creeper didn't answer and simply shrugged, before moving to the entrance of the lab and moving in. Ren gave a sigh as he followed the taller down into the lab, rethinking his days decisions.

They looked around the room, but no weird looking book in sight, and the two were starting to question if the book was even down there until Ren spotted something up on a shelf. Quickly snatching it up and checked it over, this looked to be it.

Excited he called out to Doc, "Found it!"

The creeper hurried back to his wolf friend, grinning when he spotted the book, "Nice"

Ren handed him the book and when to leave, only for Doc to grab his arm, "Where are you going, man? We just found the book and your leaving?"

Ren scoffed, there was no malice in it but instead light amusement, "And have a chance of being caught by Grian? No way, we all know what he could do if motivated enough. Sorry, but your on your own in this"

Doc let out a deep chuckle, "Yeah, yeah. I guess your right!" The creeper hybrid ushered Ren to the exit, "Go then! I'll show you my findings later!"

Giving one last wave the wolf hybrid exited, leaving Doc to his own devices.

Pulling out his note book the man sat down to read through the, admittedly quite thick, book.

Looking at the cover he saw the Watcher symbol (not that he knew what that was. I'm just writing that cuz I don't want to describe it) and words in galactica, thankful he had brought his copy of the galactic alphabet with him in his notebook. And after a bit of translating he got out the word "Spells", so now he knows what type of book he's dealing with.

But the question is why does Grian have not only a spell book, but a spell book in Galactica.

Leaving that to be figured out later Doc opened the first page to start translating, lucky for him Grian had provide translations for the spell names so he at least an idea as to what he was translating.

But before he could even start his communicator dinged, he had gotten a message from Ren that read "Grian's in town, I can distract him for a bit, but not long. Hurry away from there!"

Cursing to himself Doc quickly took a picture of the page, not looking at the spells name, and hurriedly but the book back and quickly leaving.

And not even seconds after he left the house the flapping of Grian's wings could be heard, that was a close one.

He waited till nightfall to start translating, since Grian usually went back to work on the almost finished Sahara and usually slept there. So at night he was mostly guaranteed no disruptions from the dirty blonde.

Taking out the picture and notebook he got to translating the text, and to see what spell he got.

The first page read as follows:

Fusion spell,
Tier 1 spell, casting is: easy, no magic abilities needed. (On the side there was a little note written in English that read "Nice!", presumably by Grian)

Fusion can not be forced, and all parties involved must want to fuse or the spell won't work. The spell can work even if it's not done said in Galactica, but if that is to work then at least one of the users have to say it in Galactica, but there's also a second part that's covered by a note that said "Nothing importante, won't matter".
