Tome of Imps Q&A
🕑 Added 2024-01-23 18:20:20 +0000 UTCLast 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!

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?
Huffslove
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
KiTA
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?
Huffslove
curse can affect men
Xur 96
To be affected by the curse of the tome of imps do you have to be a girl or can guys be affected to?
Huffslove
Pocket realm inside the tome can have many exits! I think Amy is conflicted about this one herself
SINISTAR
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?
Huffslove
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!
Joseph McCurdy
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'.
Huffslove
yes
declon james
Can Imps be male?
Huffslove
I don't have such plans currently, sorry
brit45
can you draw the Imps get pregnant with hers owners?
Huffslove
yes!
Huffslove
Amy! Imps age extremely slowly, if at all. They age normally after turning back!
brit45
the Imps can get pregnant with mating with hers owners?
clone1743
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?
Huffslove
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
Fauxpunny
Are the imps happy with any tome owner who's nice to them, or does a tome owner need to be DTF?
Marcus Sinclair
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?
Nikki Smith
how much control over the book do the imps have on it while inside it? and is it possible for non imps to enter?
Huffslove
Na'meh and Vee DM most often! Nalda, Diana and Lynn play martial classes while the rest prefers casters
Brett Owen
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?
Huffslove
yes
Arina-Artemis S.
Can an imp strike on their own and create a new tome?
Huffslove
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!
kyuven
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?
Noëline
We can see what all imps are before transformation ?
andrew marturano
What happened to Amy's baby?
OddityFae
How long has the tome been around? And have there been imps that have 'had their fun' and gone back to their old lives?
Huffslove
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
yipyskipy
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?
Huffslove
I think they might be
yipyskipy
Don't think it has been expanded on but I do remember it being mentioned that Vee was the first owner of the book
Huffslove
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
A. Hallister
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?
Huffslove
I don't think so. Tome curse makes only one type of imps Yes! Curses can combine together
Ishmu
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?
Vandalyriess
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
Nuwa Nightstone
When is my turn with the tome
Wayland the Smith
Will the tome trans one's gender? As a sort of "true form" thing. Or would it retain sex assigned at birth?
Cheese Toast of Death
Silly random question, but what happens if someone who's genderfluid gets imped? I'm guessing they'd shapeshift depending on how they felt?
Ellyndy
What happens if someone resists the curse from the Tome of Imps? What do the Imps do then?
Inglorien
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?)
Brett Owen
Since Vee created the Tome, are the designs of the imps her own creation?
Irall
Can a men becaume a imp too or only woman?
Keimori
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. 😁
TonicOrange
Butt stuff?
Noëline
Are you gonna do a Male Imp in your story ?
Anon
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)?
Jordan Taylor
if applicable and not too much of a bother, what were each of the imps like before becoming Imps and living inside the tome?
Vuoripeikko
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 ^^;
BaroqueAgain
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)?
Huffslove
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.
Mark Cedar
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.
Huffslove
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!
kyuven
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?
Huffslove
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
Ryusuta
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?
Huffslove
It's not easy but possible. They would probably just pop out
Blooper
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?
Huffslove
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.
Matsy
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?
Huffslove
Sure! They could!
Huffslove
Probably not
Mórí After Dark
Is there the possibility for imps to live outside of the Tome?
Huffslove
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
adrien lescoat
can it transform an humanoid? like a centaur or a minotaur and what about gods?
Huffslove
imps can be masculine
Huffslove
purple
James greene
Are there other versions of the tome of imps, like copies that work with other species?
Huffslove
Desired
Huffslove
Yes! Inside of the tome gets bigger. There is probably no limit. Sorry! I don't think I could create such statblock
Starbucks Vampire
Does it work on all genders?
Replica_Rabbit
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?
Moff Muppet
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
Ero_Panda
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.
Valentine
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?
RoastyMyToasty
Do you have any plans for more comics about the imps hanging out in the tome and their shenanigans?
Happy Days
Are all the imps transformed people or were any originally imps?
Mark Cedar
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.
Thaxann
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 ?
Kalumiya
What happens if someone opens the book and just.. puts there dick in it? (Kinda joke ask, but could be a silly doodle too)
Wakujuz
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
Rossxolotl
Are there more than one tome in the world? If so, do they have different kinds/color of imps in them?
Galick
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!
Endark Culi
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?
KalesRoyal
Can I have a date with Haru? or if we formulate it differently, imps have a postal address? Just in case ;)
Kellyn Ryan Abner
I'm curious does the book create male imps?
Man of madness
Does the tome work on other sentient races?
LewdStuff
Is there a hierarchy between imps? Like, the first one who became an imp has the authority ?
Spud
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.
TheHappyMimic
Is there a limit to the amount of imps that can be in one tome?
UseC
How to find this tome IRL
Krishna Dudhee
Will we see an origin on how the imp book came into existence?
Extended Stay
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?
Curran Rice
What do the imps do in their downtime when they are inside the tome?
Extended Stay
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.
HeartlessBow
If a male used the Tome, would they end up as a male imp or a female one?
Uncreative Anonymous Name
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
FeygwenLumall
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?
Charlie Cole
Could one be masculine imp or does the book curse you or convert you to a feminine form?
Moth Man
question; what does imp pussy taste like
The Mildly Upset Seal
If trans person used the tome would their transformation reflect their current body or desired one?
Haushagen
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.
Elberik
Is the transformation reversible?
