Publication history
As originally presented in the 1989 Order of Hermes, Verditius' understanding of creating enchanted devices was considered too "philosophical" by Bonisagus. The impression presented was that Bonisagus was to limitted in his viewpoint to incorporate the full extent of Veriditius' abilities into his Hermetic Theory. This presentation was continued in Houses of Hermes.
In addition to providing great detail on the Verditius' life before and after the foundation of the Order, Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults also changed the interplay between the nature of the colloboration between Bonisagus and Verditius. The canonnical history is now that Verditius refused to divulge all or most of his secrets. In addition to presenting a different character in general, this also provided another active proponent to the probition to scrying in the Oath of Hermes.
