This whole “The Book of…” gives me Myst vibes.
Though, instead of a book containing an actual world, it seems to me that at some point in time/another time magimystics described periods of time as Books. Like an epoch, or an era.

The implications of that in regards to the Book of Briars and the Lost Collection gives me goosebumps.

Yeah, same. I’ve been rolling that marble around my head for a couple days. Are we literally/metaphorically trying to read about a previous age? Or start a new age? The age of briars…

That may very well be, and that takes our conflict with the Storm and the Silver to a new level.
Imagine. The Council has been trying to unroll a new era in the multiverse for centuries (assuming it is more than our own mundane world that’s affected) and the Silver have been trying to stop it.
Why?

Democratization of magiq? Weakening of their will/power? The truth? It’s headache-making to think about all the ways our world could be different if The Council had started this “age” at any of the milestone mountaineer points we know about throughout history. And what does it mean for us if we somehow manage to start it with the 94s? Suddenly, poof, I’m sending this message from my internet cauldron?

…I mean, an Internet Cauldron doesn’t sound like the worst thing in the world. Maybe a little hard to interface with, though.

Imagine growing up knowing you weren’t crazy for believing in magiq. How much more would we understand about the world, about our own history?
Most of what we understand (or I think we understand) about the nature of magiq is that it’s a relatively neutral (Tool? Entity? Force?) with benevolent inclinations. You can’t kill someone and use magiq, for example, if Teddy can be believed. You’d be cut off.
The BoB spell is fueled by our positive traits and positive emotions, our connection to one another and so on. Another factor to consider, and something that makes me feel that the Silver’s motives for wanting to stop us are not for our benefit.

Now I’m imagining we’re all bending over internet cauldron’s casting refresh spells over and over.

Well, now I have to clean up the water I just sprayed on my worktable from that mental image.

I would say we are in the Book of Briars right now.

Okay? Going off of what @Nighteater said, could we be traveling through time? I have no way to prove or even say how we would do it:

We’re always travelling through time. That’s the nature of things.

I meant in a different way, but my idea was changed about an hour ago.

Ahh sorry I didn’t respond to this sooner! 
I’m thinking it’s the same as the glitched images in Fragment Ten - where we found hidden words and symbols like this and this. They can be tricky to spot and can require some photoshopping, which is why I was hoping someone might try the same techniques as those used in Fragment Ten.

I know this is pertaining to fragment 13, but we just got another “Book” which is tied to a period of time. My mind is blown right now on what this all could mean.
Also, is anyone else wondering the implications for Neither that we will likely be getting a new combination for the Chronocompass which will likely mean a new knocking combination to get into Neithernor?
I am glad it is night because I have a lot to process.
