After the bone devil is killed, Mira goes to Etorn Hadaran's skeleton-less corpse and retrieves his pocketwatch, 60 silver pieces, his spellbook and the Seal of Abjuration.

The spellbook is dark leather, at first appearing black but actually dyed a very deep purple. It is decorated with a complex pattern of concentric and overlapping circles.

In the 3 days after the bone devil is killed, Mira investigates the nature of the book. It is apparent to him that it is a wizard's spellbook, and he looks through to find spells that he can copy to his own Book of Shadows per his Book of Ancient Secrets eldritch invocation.

However, he also learns that this spellbook is enchanted in its own right. As an Arcane Grimoire +1, a wizard could use it as a spellcasting focus, gain a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls, gain a +1 bonus to saving throw DCs of their wizard spells, and regain an additional spellslot when using Arcane Recovery.

Not being a wizard, Mira has little use for these features, but the book has a further divination aura to it, which suggests there's some means to using it as a way to commune with something or someone.

When the party reviews the journal of Irann Rhogar with Galesong Thervan Indále and the Sable Warden, they note that Irann Rhoger was the one who gifted the spellbook to Etorn Hadaran.
