How Can Elphaba Read the Grimmerie in Wicked? Elphaba’s ability to read the Grimmerie, a spellbook full of Ozian magic, is a key part of her transformation into the Wicked Witch of the West. The Grimmerie is written in a mysterious language that very few can decipher. When Elphaba and Glinda arrive at the Emerald City, the Wizard and Madame Morrible show her the spellbook. To their surprise, Elphaba can read it and even casts a spell giving the Wizard’s monkeys wings. Her unique heritage explains this rare talent. Elphaba is half-human and half-Ozian, as revealed in the musical and Gregory Maguire’s novel. The Wizard’s affair with Elphaba’s mother and the green elixir he gave her led to Elphaba’s green skin and natural magical abilities. In the upcoming Wicked: For Good, Elphaba will likely discover more about her father, her connection to the Grimmerie, and her magical powers. The sequel promises to deepen her story as she fully embraces her role in Oz’s complex world.
