[ Bless you, Viktor. He'll be able to gain a whole lot of information, so let's summarize it:
Archetypes are a kind of magic that is called forth when the user faces their anxiety. It physically transforms the user into a suit of armor capable of using powerful magic spells and a variety of abilities, based on which Heroic Embodiment it is. All Archetypes are based around some kind of culturally-understood beacon of virtue, so they're called things like 'the General', 'the Thief', 'the Seeker', 'the Mage' and so on.
The texts that are placed on this desk aren't super concerned with listing the abilities of known Archetypes already. Instead they keep circling back to an Archetype that so far exists only in hypothesis: the Prince Archetype.
The prince would be a leader, expected to protect his people, but what abilities he'd hold and whether it is possible to summon him at all remains a mystery.
On some of the pages, More has underlined the word 'prince' in shaky lines, suggesting he was trembling as he did so. ]
