It's pretty unlikely that these codizes could be salvaged. What happened here is that the whole place burned, but the lack of air resulted in everything just charring instead of being consumed.Spiritsdamnit Yaxkin, stop further destroying the potentially restorable information
You basically stumbled upon a huge supply of coal.

Still, magic exists and even if not that as a reason it's as simple as that being cliche stupid behaviour I'd like to beat out of our PC.
"Oh the pricelessly valuable thing crumbled at a touch, better touch them all."

Not really any other way to figure out if they are all like that and she stopped right after the second shelf was also a dud.
What would you have done instead?

More closely inspect the one that broke, move onto the others ensuring I don't repeat obviously destructive actions, realise that if things have been like this for untold generations they're probably gonna stay that way so I have the time to get options. Or at least I'd like to think so, perhaps I'd panic and do the same thing, still panic in the face of the unexpected is not exactly something desirable in a PC.
If you're saying that there was literally no other way to tell, that's some bloody weird coal.
Heh, its not really salvagable IC. But OOC airlessly charred books held in place can be recovered via modern scanning technology as long as they are still pinned exactly where they were when it burned.

@Azel - if I understood correctly, undead are a thing in this setting (from the training posts). So, would it be imaginable that alchemy (magic) could be used to trap(secure) a soul, for example in a skull, that then may possess the next human coming along? Or is that simply nothing that's possible in this world?

The restless dead are most certainly a thing in this setting.
If that specific scenario is possible or the correct interpretation of what you see is sadly up in the air.

[X] Go back.
-[X] Explore the last door.
All's well and good with a bit of exploration and going past things we know, but messing with a floating ritual in a non-known circle just spells "DOOOOOM!" to me... Like, this could even be a demon suppressed, could be a special skull protected, could be a hero stopped or just a plain undead. We don't know! Better not mess too much with the unknown...

I mean, the vote is a good one, could be usefull, but the wood is all charred. So that part won't work.
[X] Investigate the diagram and the skull.
-[X] Do not touch it or approach it, try to pry free a wooden shelf and copy the diagram onto it as best as you can. You'd look into it later.
