Homebrew Codex Grimoire

How does this Homebrew Codex Grimoire look?

I tried keep the effects related but eclectic and went with the “Minor Offense, Minor Utility, Strong Defensive” setup. Tho I could see even making it a 2 effect Grimoire even. Thinking narrative first, I love scenes in other games where my Tiny Hut or Cozy Cottage can serve as a relatively safe RP space. Given other level 1 Grimoires have things like Telepathy as a valid effect (for a cost), do you think this is balanced for a level 1 effect? Or should it even be level 2 or 3?

Level 1 Codex Grimoire

- **Shocking Rune**
Make a Spellcast Roll against a Target in Close Range. On a Success the Target takes D8 Magic Damage using your Proficiency and must Mark a Stress

- **Thread Sigils**
Make a Spellcast Roll (12) to Summon threads as strong as normal rope connecting two objects or surfaces in Far Range. Alternatively, the thread may coil around an Object, immobilizing it until the threads are cut or otherwise destroyed.

- **Cottage Glyph**
You spend a minute concentrating on a desire for home and make a Spellcast Roll. On a Success, you Mark a Stress and create a large hemispherical glyph that creates a space in Close Range of you.The interior of the glyph is always a comfortable temperature to the caster, keeps out weather less severe than a hurricane, and is comfortable to lay upon its flat face. The Glyph is instantly destroyed if it takes at least Major Damage from any source except weather or the environment as described above. Its Evasion and Damage Threshold is equal to the result of your Spellcast Roll.

Are Coasters Camp?

I’ve been talking to my Girlfriend about if liking Coasters as a major hobby is Camp. There’s is something to be said about how coasters have a theatricality about them, in their presentation and the public’s response

You have to be at least a little self aware about how things like “The Beast” and “The Siren’s Curse” sound like turn of the 20th century pulp fiction novels, and that it can come across as a little silly to get excited about something so gauche

Yet when you dig deeper, there is history and technology and artistry woven into every one of these enterprises, and you discover, OH. It IS that deep actually. And it’s amazing.

And an outward frivolity masking a sincere motivation and deep technical expertise is pure camp to me

Thoughts?
