Awesome!
The final exile clause - is that meant to put the sorcery back in the Octavo for other people to be able to cast? I think that's what it does right now, but that does mean it's going to be hard for the game to ever end via damage.
(Even if that is what you want you probably need to say "Exile that spell when it resolves", otherwise the sorcery will get cast and then immediately exiled and never get to resolve at all!)
I meant for the octavo to deplete as the game went on... I tried, Exile that spell unattached to Octavo, but that didnt feel right
In which case I suggest you just don't do anything to the card as it resolves. It'll go into the graveyard, but that's okay.
Alternatively, if you really want to exile it, I suggest "may cast a face-up card exiled with ~"... "When that spell resolves, exile it face down."
oh, graveyard is fine; I assumed it stayed exiled to the Octavo
