Tome of Imps Q&A

Last two pages of the comic are still in progress. After it's done I'll want to draw little doodles answering some commonly asked questions about the tome of imps. I think this is a good occasion to also answer some questions you may have!


Imp Q&A is now closed!
Thank you for your questions!

Comments

Heya, I know the Q&A is closed but nobody asked and I'm dying of curiosity: Is there a significance to the gold worn by the imps? Only 2 imps don't wear them one of which was the previous researcher (I'm so sorry for not knowing their names). What's the deal with stripey different hair colored imp having no gold? Is she also new to being an imp, but if she is why does she look so different than the other imps?

Star Guardian Lux

I'm really not sure to be honest! Sorry!

Huffslove

Amy is simply good at curse removal! Amy can turn into an imp in the matter of seconds by now Group of imps is called a good time

Huffslove

I suggested a silly idea earlier, but let me rephrase it as a question: If a suitably skilled scholar (if not mage) were to copy the tome of imps 1 for 1, would the new tome of imps (copy) retain the magical abilities of the current one? If so, would it just be a secondary door to the Imp demiplane that the main tome of imps accesses, or would it be a fresh new empty demiplane, ready to be filled by whatever poor researcher first got a bit too horny near the library the silly thing was stored in?

KiTA

So Amy can turn herself back human, is this something she can only do because she's good at removing curses (thanks to years of helping Diana out, no doubt) or can all the Imps switch back at will? And when Amy switches back for food runs, does she have to be re-inducted back into the imp ... What's the name of a group of imps? It's a murder of crows and a business of ferrets, so... Does she have to be re-inducted back into the orgy of imps?

KiTA

curse can affect men

Huffslove

To be affected by the curse of the tome of imps do you have to be a girl or can guys be affected to?

Xur 96

Pocket realm inside the tome can have many exits! I think Amy is conflicted about this one herself

Huffslove

How vital is the tome to the, uh, "Imp Realm", for lack of a better word? Like, is it a be-all anchor for it, or is it more of a portal and unnecessary for its continued well-being? Could, theoretically, they make additional tomes to have both redundancy and multiple "Exits"? Also, deep down inside, does Amy identify more as a human, or more as an imp?

SINISTAR

In such case transformation will likely not happen I don't think they would ever meet. But if they did, I think they would get along!

Huffslove

Do you become an Imp, even if you don't want to? Say that you're compatible in the fun loving, and lewd areas, but you are happy with your natural form. Or is it sort of forced to happen if you enjoy yourself with them? Second question. How well would Queen Regina and her friends get along with the Imps? I imagine they are too adorable to exist peacefully together, and that adventurers would quiver in fear of the ensuing 'competition'.

Joseph McCurdy

yes

Huffslove

Can Imps be male?

declon james

I don't have such plans currently, sorry

Huffslove

can you draw the Imps get pregnant with hers owners?

brit45

yes!

Huffslove

Amy! Imps age extremely slowly, if at all. They age normally after turning back!

Huffslove

the Imps can get pregnant with mating with hers owners?

brit45

In some posts we see the imps wearing the bookmark shaped uniforms. Who pitched the idea for the uniforms, was it one of the imps, or the owner of the tome at the time? Secondly, it was said that the tome has been around a few years,so how does being an imp affect them in the long run in regards to ageing? Do they continue to age as an imp, or are the imp forms ageless, and they continue where they left off in that regard, when the curse is broken and they return to their original forms?

clone1743

Most of them don't mind. Especially Na'meh and Nalda are always happy to help! Vee would get bored very quickly however

Huffslove

Love helps Haru control her lust magic better. Haru and Lynn are very close. Amy and Diana were never in a romantic relationship with each other but maybe they should try. Vee doesn't believe in love

Huffslove

The book can be teleported from inside. Non-imps can enter if they fit

Huffslove

Are the imps happy with any tome owner who's nice to them, or does a tome owner need to be DTF?

Fauxpunny

I know the imps are quite promiscuous with each other, but what about their stance on love? Do they talk about previous relationships, do they go on dates with each other, does Haru's lust magic get weaker or stronger if love is added to it, did Diana and Amy go on candlelit dinners after an intense study session prior to getting into the tome?

Marcus Sinclair

how much control over the book do the imps have on it while inside it? and is it possible for non imps to enter?

Nikki Smith

Na'meh and Vee DM most often! Nalda, Diana and Lynn play martial classes while the rest prefers casters

Huffslove

iirc there was a DM screen in the "inside the tome" pic you posted a while ago, who of the group DM's and who plays what class?

Brett Owen

yes

Huffslove

Can an imp strike on their own and create a new tome?

Arina-Artemis S.

Curse can affect most races They'll probably just leave if current tome owner is no fun

Huffslove

I may have some plans! Time will tell

Huffslove

Egg! Probably safe

Huffslove

Few years at very least. Also: probably!

Huffslove

More questions (I really love the concept lol) Does the curse only affect humans, or can it affect other humanoid or at least human-intelligence creatures? Related to that, what happens if the tome comes into the possession of something that doesn't respond to either their sexual advances or their pranks, like hypothetically a golem programmed to collect books?

kyuven

We can see what all imps are before transformation ?

Noëline

What happened to Amy's baby?

andrew marturano

How long has the tome been around? And have there been imps that have 'had their fun' and gone back to their old lives?

OddityFae

Each other! A lot!

Huffslove

It's a guessing game!

Huffslove

She reaaaally likes imps

Huffslove

When you find it!

Huffslove

It can depending on deep desires

Huffslove

yes

Huffslove

Have a lot of fun nonetheless!

Huffslove

It's a mystery for now! Imp reproduction is weird

Huffslove

Want to ask a question but don't really have anything in mind so going to just ask a random one, what do the Imp like?

yipyskipy

I think they might be

Huffslove

Don't think it has been expanded on but I do remember it being mentioned that Vee was the first owner of the book

yipyskipy

they can

Huffslove

There probably are. Other enchanters and sorcerers surely made similar tomes. Amy spends most of the time away from the tome. Nalda and Diana often leave on solo adventures

Huffslove

yes

Huffslove

Currently I don't have such plans

Huffslove

Area inside the tome can grow and change This tome creates only this specific kind of purple imps, but unusual, rare exceptions may be possible

Huffslove

I may actually draw something about this, so I won't spoil it yet!

Huffslove

I think curses can stack on top of each other

Huffslove

I've noticed that the imps seem especially pleased when a new owner starts transforming. Can they tell when someone will be susceptible, or is it always a guessing game until they start turning purple?

A. Hallister

I don't think so. Tome curse makes only one type of imps Yes! Curses can combine together

Huffslove

Did Amy get tempted by the other imps into transforming or did she fantasize scenarios in her head till she ended up an imp all on her own?

Ishmu

There’s obviously a history with the imps as you’ve described their old careers and such, but what about the book? Was it created for this specific purpose? Was it found and experimented with? Maybe I just missed that lore post

Vandalyriess

When is my turn with the tome

Nuwa Nightstone

Will the tome trans one's gender? As a sort of "true form" thing. Or would it retain sex assigned at birth?

Wayland the Smith

Silly random question, but what happens if someone who's genderfluid gets imped? I'm guessing they'd shapeshift depending on how they felt?

Cheese Toast of Death

What happens if someone resists the curse from the Tome of Imps? What do the Imps do then?

Ellyndy

Related to the question about Amber's "Long Term Experiment", is there a father, or can Imps reproduce asexually? (And if there is a "Father" who is it? Was it related to Na'meh growing a cock that one time?)

Inglorien

Since Vee created the Tome, are the designs of the imps her own creation?

Brett Owen

Can a men becaume a imp too or only woman?

Irall

Are there any other tomes? Do any of the imps live away from the tome? I adore their designs so much, probably one of my favorite fantasy "races" I've seen. 😁

Keimori

Butt stuff?

TonicOrange

Are you gonna do a Male Imp in your story ?

Noëline

Is there a limit to the size of the book? Is the interior you drew a while ago (if it's still accurate) set in stone, or can it be changed or expanded at all? And are the imps only able to look like the ones in the comic, or can the book create other imps like Lupa for different environments and special conditions (like a holy imp or eldritch imp from people primarily corrupted in a church, ritual site, had faith or allegiance to those entities, or just wound up in weird situations)?

Anon

if applicable and not too much of a bother, what were each of the imps like before becoming Imps and living inside the tome?

Jordan Taylor

How powerful is the curse? Would it trump over, for example, someone having a different transformation curse, or would it simply return the person back to the cursed state if they're not imp anymore? This in a general sense, since it's a pretty wide question ^^;

Vuoripeikko

Has the Tome of Imps ever caused any elementally- or environmentally-adapted transformations (e.g., an icy imp in colder climates or a fiery one if whoever's holding onto it decided volcano dungeons are good adventuring, wings in a mountainous or sky-bound environ or a more aquatic form by the seaside/on the open ocean, etc.), or is it more one-style-imps-all, so to speak? EDIT: (whoops, failed to shift+enter) And on a more specific note than the previous question, has Diana's collection of cursed items (I recall Amy mentioned tentacle armor, a Goblin Goblet, and Bovine Bracers, to name a few) led to any compound-cursed fun (such as the items' curses combining, if only for a while given Amy's around to undo it yet again, with the Tome's effects on her)?

BaroqueAgain

Yes. They'll surely abandon such person, or stay only to play pranks on them.

Huffslove

1) If they didn't transform fully, they'll slowly revert back to normal. If they already transformed fully, it sticks. 2) They'll slowly revert back to normal... probably. Or they should look for someone that can dispel curses. Yes but they are surprisingly durable No

Huffslove

Of course! Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm happy that you found inspiration in my art! Amy uncurses herself very often and spends most of the time in her original human form. She turns into an imp in her free time. She has a page from the tome to teleport into it wherever it might be. At this point transforming into an imp takes her a mere moment.

Huffslove

Does it bother the imps if someone holds onto the tome for too long. Like if someone with zero interest in impification or imp sex obtained it solely to have them as a workforce.

Mark Cedar

Imps accompanied him on some adventures but eventually left because they found him too boring. He was at no risk of transformation.

Huffslove

If their minds have nothing in common with imps they probably won't transform at all. Making even just eight pages of comic is a lot of work. I don't think I have it in me to make a long slow burn transformation story.

Huffslove

Maybe! I have some ideas

Huffslove

Yes!

Huffslove

Yes, probably. Maaaybe?

Huffslove

I don't see why not! Surely other enchanters and sorcerers made similar tomes!

Huffslove

Yes

Huffslove

A similar tome can be created but it'll be empty at first.

Huffslove

It's an egg! Imps reproduction is weird and Amy will surely make many more long-term experiments to research the topic. I'll consider it!

Huffslove

What happens if someone being transformed into an imp: 1) loses the tome through no fault of their own (getting it stolen, losing it, etc.)? 2) Changes their mind about wanting to be an imp? Second question: Can the imps die? If they die, do they just return to the book?

kyuven

Males can be changed by the tome Minds can't be changed by the tome

Huffslove

Far! Vee can sometimes teleport it to random places. Imps can get out of the tome and simply carry it themselves too

Huffslove

I have plenty of ideas! Although only time will tell.

Huffslove

Most of them are transformed people

Huffslove

Lynn miiight hold the record. No one even noticed her enter

Huffslove

Changes are pretty obvious. I'm sure most users realize what's happening and are simply on board with it. They would have to be pretty silly to not notice.

Huffslove

I have a feeling you know what happens

Huffslove

There might be! It's basically pocket dimension portal with a transformation curse on it. Surely other enchanters and sorcerers made similar tomes!

Huffslove

There might be! I don't see why not!

Huffslove

Na'meh was the first imp to join Vee Their horns are minor erogenous zones. It's mostly just teasing Average transformation takes several days but depending on horniness it can take from mere minutes to months. People with incompatible mindsets don't transform at all. Masters/Mistresses who actually transform into imps are rather uncommon. Book switches owners usually every few weeks Depends on the mood! Currently it's Lynn No worries! I'm happy to answer

Huffslove

First of all, thanks for letting my friends and I... *ahem* browse the Tome for awhile. (Read: Thanks for letting me draw some Tome Imps in my style. It truly is something I'm honored and grateful beyond words for. You'll always have word of mouth when it comes to me telling people about your awesome works.) Now for the two-part question: How often does Amy uncurse herself in order to go shopping? And how quickly does she relapse back into being an imp once she's finished?

Ryusuta

It's not easy but possible. They would probably just pop out

Huffslove

What happened to that Oath Paladin? Was he turned into an Imp? Or did his "Oath" protect him? Or did he yell at the Imps for trying to get him to break his "Holy Oaths" like in a Baalbuddy comic?

Blooper

I don't think so, sorry!

Huffslove

it can

Huffslove

yes

Huffslove

Generally no. All imps are equal and they bicker and banter to make group decisions. Although Na'meh is probably the most respected.

Huffslove

It was mentioned before that the tome has a faster effect on those who are already similar to the imps, ie perverted, nudist, etc. Would you ever consider a longer slower burn story of someone who isnt like that getting whittled down over weeks or months by the imps?

Matsy

Will we ever see human versions of the other imps?

Matsy

Sure! They could!

Huffslove

Probably not

Huffslove

Is there the possibility for imps to live outside of the Tome?

Mórí After Dark

38.888611, -77.004723

Huffslove

Maybe!

Huffslove

There probably are. Other enchanters and sorcerers surely made similar tomes. Although rare, they are not unique.

Huffslove

Play board games, read books, pursue various individual hobbies or have fun on their own. The tome isn't the only exit from the book pocket dimension so they can also just leave and do things outside even when the tome is closed or unused.

Huffslove

There is a pocket dimension inside. I'm afraid resemblance is most likely coincidental

Huffslove

No magic binds them to the tome. They can just leave

Huffslove

can it transform an humanoid? like a centaur or a minotaur and what about gods?

adrien lescoat

imps can be masculine

Huffslove

purple

Huffslove

Are there other versions of the tome of imps, like copies that work with other species?

James greene

Desired

Huffslove

Yes! Inside of the tome gets bigger. There is probably no limit. Sorry! I don't think I could create such statblock

Huffslove

Does it work on all genders?

Starbucks Vampire

Could you copy the tome? If so, would it copy the Imps that was already inside or would it be empty until other Imps move in?

Replica_Rabbit

In one picture, Amy was performing a more long-term experiment. Can we see the result? The picture in question, for reference: https://www.patreon.com/posts/research-61572697

Moff Muppet

Have a question about lore of a tome. We see females turn in to imps as magic imbudes with tome change them reacting to desires. Question is could it be possible for a male to be changed and/or altered by the tome to fit the cryterium of other imps.

Ero_Panda

How far has the tome physically traveled since its creation? Does it need to be carried or does it sometimes move on its own so it can be discovered again? Can the imps themselves move it?

Valentine

Do you have any plans for more comics about the imps hanging out in the tome and their shenanigans?

RoastyMyToasty

Are all the imps transformed people or were any originally imps?

Happy Days

What's the speedrun record for fastest impification. If, hypothetically, just the perfect level of pervert opened the book what's the fastest they could reach total imphood.

Mark Cedar

I've been wandering if the tome has a real effect on the user's mind or if the imps just are so useful that the user doesn't realize they're turning into an imp ?

Thaxann

What happens if someone opens the book and just.. puts there dick in it? (Kinda joke ask, but could be a silly doodle too)

Kalumiya

Are there people/beings in similar situations, AKA other imp tomes out there? Maybe an excuse to draw some impies in a different cultural style or elaborate on how the tome came to be. How other "tomes" may come about

Wakujuz

Are there more than one tome in the world? If so, do they have different kinds/color of imps in them?

Rossxolotl

Hello, hello! Thank you for this! Of the Imps, who was the first one to join Vee in there? I'd assume it was Na'meh, but I could see arguments for almost any of them but Nalda, Diana, and Amy? There are lots of little images and moments of them licking each other's horns - erogenous zones or just for fun? What's the average transformation time for someone who's bound for the Tome? Eclair looks like she's taken less than a week, but is that the average or is she just pretty quick/slow? How commonly does the Tome get new tenants vs just serving a new master/mistress for a while - a few days/weeks/months - and then moving on? Of them, which Imps are your favorites to draw? Sorry for the thousand questions, but I adore the Tome and it's fantastic! Thank you so much for opening up the Q&A!

Galick

Is it possible to damage the tome, and if so, are there safeguards to protect any imps that might still be inside of it at the time?

Endark Culi

Can I have a date with Haru? or if we formulate it differently, imps have a postal address? Just in case ;)

KalesRoyal

I'm curious does the book create male imps?

Kellyn Ryan Abner

Does the tome work on other sentient races?

Man of madness

Is there a hierarchy between imps? Like, the first one who became an imp has the authority ?

LewdStuff

It’s implied in the first comic each of the imps has a special talent. Would be neat to see a buff male handy man imp to fix stuff. You know like plumbing and stuff.

Spud

If you like have too many imps do they just start a volume 2 and so on.

Spud

Is there a limit to the amount of imps that can be in one tome?

TheHappyMimic

How to find this tome IRL

UseC

Will we see an origin on how the imp book came into existence?

Krishna Dudhee

Are there other tomes? In other words - one of the residents is the creator of this tome, but... was this a one-off, or are there other tomes of other creatures with similar effects?

Extended Stay

What do the imps do in their downtime when they are inside the tome?

Curran Rice

From what I remember from earlier drawings, Amy (the glasses-wearing imp who was the last researcher) turns herself back human from time-to-time to run errands - so yeah, it's reversible.

Extended Stay

If a male used the Tome, would they end up as a male imp or a female one?

HeartlessBow

When the book is closed, does time stop for the imps, or do they have a pocket dimension to "enjoy to themselves"? I also know some of the imps designs resemble some familiar faces. Are these canonically previous owners, or just coincidentally similar? x3

Uncreative Anonymous Name

Are people who are turned into an imp bound by the book, or could they leave if they want at any point and do what ever as an imp?

FeygwenLumall

Could one be masculine imp or does the book curse you or convert you to a feminine form?

Charlie Cole

question; what does imp pussy taste like

Moth Man

If trans person used the tome would their transformation reflect their current body or desired one?

The Mildly Upset Seal

Question: if the book keeps amassing so mamy imps, will the inside of it get bigger? Or does it have a limited number of people who can be turned? Also, another off topic question: if this book was put into a dnd statblock, what would you say would be its effects and stats? .3.

Haushagen

Is the transformation reversible?

Elberik
