Research Arcanaum by J. Evan Nyquist:
The hour is upon you. The stars have aligned just as the book said. The starlight fills the etched markings on the henges and flows down to pool around you. You draw forth your bottle and dip it below the glowing surface. With this you may be able to finally cure your lycantrhopy.
A small explosion followed by the smell of burning sulfur. You cough. Before you stands the demon you summoned shrouded in yellow smoke. You scatter your papers as you stand. They look down at you angrily and see the perfectly drawn runes of capture around them and they howl.
Blood splatters on the ground as your blade cuts through the sample of dragonhide on your table. You smile and nod as you write in your ledger. Silver was getting nowhere but this blade of ruby cuts through the hide like warm steel through butter... you wonder why that is.

Research Arcanum is a PbtA game about learning the secrets of a fantasy world for 2-5 players including a GM. It can be used as a supplement to augment an existing tabletop roleplaying game or played on its own to generate the academic history of an Arcanist or to plumb the mysteries of a setting’s magic.
