| - The Émigré Manuscript, (also known as the "Émigré Document" and the "Manuscript of the Exiles") is without a doubt the most infamous of the three books in the series, playing an active and key role in Koudelka, Shadow Hearts, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, and Shadow Hearts: From the New World. Shaped like a human skull, it is a cursed tome that contains the so-called knowledge to bring the dead back to life. To achieve the ultimate goal of resurrection, it appears to describe a number of different rituals that can be used independently from each other. However, there are some basic structures that the rituals share. These include:
* The creation of a vessel to house a soul
* Controlling the flow of time (mainly used to speed the growth of the vessel to the desired state)
* The summoning ritual to call a soul back from the beyond It should be noted, however, that the ritual has never been completed successfully. The only known time the ritual has been even marginally successful was prior to the events of Shadow Hearts: From the New World, and even then the ritual was not perfect. The price for failure at attempting such straining magic is death and/or insanity. Perhaps, the key to success for using Will and Malice in the ritual is to use the same amounts of both of the lights, since Malice can form a body with human instincts while Will can create a soul and form emotions with sanity. Using only Malice will cause the ones that have been resurrected to become a ruthless and heartless vessel who will only follow their instincts to kill and achieve whatever their goals is. It is unknown what will happen when using only Will. Another ritual mentioned is immortality, but not eternal youth, which Roger Bacon used on himself after he escaped the Pope once he finished making the new copy and transcribing the Émigré Manuscript. He mentions in Koudelka, that he is unable to perform the same act on others.
