"theorys have proof.

whats your proof."

Technically speaking, when theory has got a proof it is no longer a theory...

As for the original idea, I suppose it could be possible, but I doubt it... All of Wickerbottom's books are self-contained with only a minor sanity loss per use (cost of doing insane things ^^). On the other hand, the Codex Umbra requires nightmare fuel (mana?), 15 hp (blood sacrifice?), and sanity allocation for the duration of each shadow puppet... In summary, unlike Wickerbottom's books, this one has got an on-going effect and is considerably darker in nature... especially that hp sacrifice... My guess would be that the Codex Umbra is either much older than any of our characters, or it is a Maxwell original. =)
