In-Game Book titles available for these subjects? - Kage - 08-22-2015
Before I start making up more book titles like i am doing for some trashy romance novels...
Any titles in the game specific to these subjects?
1. Aether control, theory and exercises. Anything and everything on the subject. Nothing advanced, please.
2. Staves and other mediums, preferably a study on attunements.
3. Fire
Relate these subjects to Thaumaturgy as well?

No exact titles for books matching those descriptions. Sorry! The closest thing would be Essences and Permutations - A Treatise of the Six Elements, which was originally found in 1.0's CNJ Guild library, back when Conjurers controlled all six elements. It was again referenced in the 2.0 quest The Greatest Story Never Told, and now rests in 3.0's Gubal Library.
Below I've spoilered other canon Eorzean literature:

Fernehalwes Wrote:Is there a mythology about the Twelve that isn’t mentioned in-game? (ex. Holy books, manuscripts, rituals, etc.)
Answer: Yes, a great deal of mythology exists. Unfortunately, a lot remains unreleased. The storyline in 2.0 should reveal much more about the Twelve, but until then, I leave you with this Fun Fact: perhaps you have noticed, but in several of the dungeons in La Noscea you will find locations on your maps with names like "Llymlaen's Folly" or "Llymlaen's Trial." These are, in fact, sacred sites for the followers of the Navigator--each representing one of the 12 chapters in the tale of Llymlaen's Ascent. As part of their worship, followers risk their lives to perform yearly pilgrimages, visiting all twelve sites in the order they appear in the tale.
The chapters (in order) are as follows:
Llymlaen's Folly
Llymlaen's Flight
Llymlaen's Tempest
Llymlaen's Clarity
Llymlaen's Resolve
Llymlaen's Bearing
Llymlaen's Trial
Llymlaen's Encounter
Llymlaen's Stand
Llymlaen's Triumph
Llymlaen's Oath
Llymlaen's Ascent

Thank you both!
Is the Professor the one you use in the main story quests/moogle quests? The one with the four students in Camp Drybone?

Lv. 44 Main Story Questline Spoilershe's the one who sends you on the wild goose chase to gather corrupted crystals to power the Enterprise's aether converter so you can enter the Howling Eye and confront Garuda.
in the postmoogle quests, he and his students have a misunderstanding at the bar in Camp Drybone. (I believe there are only three students, however - one in Old Gridania, another in Aleport and the last is near Highbridge.)
