So a Grutrissheit can also be made by morphing a schtappe into it. That would certainly explain how both the previous king's and Waldifried's Grutrissheits could just disappear into thin air, upon their deathes.
Though considering how it's important to know the object you duplicate with a schtappe down to the tiniest detail, I can't help but wonder if making a physical transcription isn't easier. Sure you don't need to worry about materials with the morphed schtappe, but you need to know the entire book by heart, including all the magic circles... now that's a rather daunting task.
It also has the advantage that it's impossible to steal such a Grutrissheit and that you don't have to worry, what to do with it, after the owner's death.
I wonder if they did make physical transcriptions in the distant past and only switched to schtappe duplicates at some point.
We've sern magical memory imprinting before. When Rozemyne learned the name of the Supreme Gods, she described them as getting burned into her mind, so forgetting them wasn't a concern. Similar for learning the magic words from the g-quest shrines.
The mana-mixing method of passing on magic artifacts we saw from Hannalore seems to work similarly.
