Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

{{nihongo|'''Bookmasters'''|ブックマスター|Bukkumasutā}} are [[Emblem Heartless]] that appear in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. They are close relatives to the spell-casting Heartless such as [[Crimson Jazz]]. Like their predecessors, Bookmasters first appear in [[Hollow Bastion]].


Bookmasters wield a book called the [[Akashic Record]]. They have a small chance of dropping their books upon defeat, which [[Goofy]] can use as a [[shield]].
Replacing the [[Wizard]] enemy from the original game, {{nihongo|'''Bookmasters'''|ブックマスター|Bukkumasutā}} are Emblem [[Heartless]] and close relatives to the magic-using Heartless such as [[Crimson Jazz]]. Like their predecessor, Bookmasters first appear in [[Hollow Bastion]].


A more powerful version of this Heartless, called the [[Runemaster]], appears in the [[Cavern of Remembrance]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''.
Bookmasters can use all forms of magic other than [[Magnet]], [[Reflect]], and [[Cure]]. They can also hit you with their book, which appears in a Japanese fashion based on its cover side. This attack is hard to deflect. Their magic hits from quite a distance, so it's best to hit fast and hard with the [[Keyblade]].
 
There is a small chance that defeating a Bookmaster will reward [[Goofy]] with the [[Akashic Record]] weapon.

==Design==
==Design==
A Bookmaster is a rather small Heartless that wears long robes that cover its feet. These robes are predominantly green, with a yellow collar, white highlights, and a blue bottom. It also wears a tall, cylindrical, green and white hat and what seem to be orange gloves. The only part of the Heartless not covered by clothing is its blue, spherical head and yellow, glowing eyes. It wields a book called the [[Akashic Record]] in battle.
A Bookmaster is a rather small Heartless that wears long robes that cover its feet. These robes are predominantly green, with a yellow collar and a number of blue designs decorating them. It also wears a tall, cylindrical, green and white hat and what seem to be brown gloves. The only part of the Heartless not covered by clothing is its face, which somewhat resembles that of a [[Shadow]], sporting the same black, spherical head and yellow, glowing eyes. All Bookmasters hold a book known as the Akashic Record.  


In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', a Bookmaster wears predominantly yellow robes with an orange collar and brown patterns decorating them. Its hat is yellow and brown, and it carries a differently-colored version of the Akashic Record.

The Bookmaster's name is a reference to the spell book it carries and fights with, and its skill in using it.
The Bookmaster’s name is an obvious reference to the spell book it carries and fights with, and its skill in using it.


==Strategy==
==Attacks==
The Bookmaster is immune to all magic attacks excluding [[Reflect]] and [[Magnet]]. It attacks from a distance using a sequence of '''Fire''' or '''Blizzard''', then '''Thunder'''. Using Reflect or Guard to defend these attacks is a good strategy; if Sora has Reflega, it can take out several Bookmasters at once. If damaged, they will often counter by hitting Sora with their '''Book Strike''' attacks, which are hard to deflect. Their magic hits from quite a distance, so it is best to use physical attacks.
*'''Fire''': Fires one, two, then three fireballs forward
{{Atk-o|KH2}}
*'''Blizzard''': Fires one, two, then three ice crystals forward
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Fire'''|ファイア|<br>Faia}}|Fire|—|x1.5|△|Launches fireballs forward sequentially, in patterns of 1 → 2 (successive) → 3 (successive).}}
*'''Thunder''': Calls down eight lightning bolts
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Blizzard'''|ブリザド|<br>Burizado}}|Blizzard|—|x1.5|△|Launches ice balls forward sequentially, in patterns of 1 → 2 (simultaneous) → 3 (simultaneous).}}
*'''Book Strike''': Double book-swing sends target flying
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Thunder'''|サンダー|<br>Sandā}}|Thunder|—|x1.5|△|Eight thunderbolts appear over the opponent and rain down on them sequentially.}}
*'''Book Strike 2''': Four-swing book attack
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Book Strike'''|ブックストライク|<br>Bukku Sutoraiku}}|Physical|—|x0.5|△|Strikes twice with book, knocking opponents back.}}
{{Atk|{{nihongo|'''Book Strike 2'''|ブックストライク2|<br>Bukku Sutoraiku 2}}|Physical|—|x0.25|△|Strikes four times with book, staggering opponents.}}
