Donati's Horoscope

Donati's Horoscope had been the sole existing horoscope that had been discovered and retrieved by Academy City as a purely as a scientific item, making it a slight issue between the science side and the magic side. The Horoscope in question was a key item for the complete recovery of the Alaskan rune epitaph and the acquisition of its knowledge. To achieve that, Richard Brave needed the epitaph fragment Stiyl had and the horoscope that could be used to calculate the magical effects of Donati’s Comet which only approached the earth after a period of longer than 2000 years. The lack of any one of those things was fatal to the his plan however, the epitaph fragment was a portion of an Original Grimoire, so it could not be destroyed by human means and using Patricia’s life as a shield was not an option for him.

Stiyl had no choice but to steal the horoscope that was being transported by Academy City, if he managed that before the Richard could do so, he could come up with a plan using it as bait. Unfortunately for both men it had already been stolen by Leivinia Birdway and Dawn-Colored Sunlight.

Later Stiyl confronted Birdway as to what they would do with the Epitaph and the Horoscope, she responded in saying that they had no interest in Norse mythology at all, and the techniques of the Dvergr would be of no use to us even if we had them. The Horoscope had as originally belonged to Dawn-Colored Sunlight and had purposefully allowed Academy City to find it and recover it. Have all three from the beginning. If we were planning to carry out the ceremony they would have already done so and thought that sending the horoscope to the headquarters of the science side would be best because it would get the best care in a world that had no idea what its magical value was. Though Academy City turned out to be a surprisingly bad choice and then determined it couldn't be left in the city and came to retrieve it.
