问题类别：规则相关
具体问题：神祇相关：前几天刚刚看到新出的怪物之锤，对照魔法大典发现其中“阿佩普放逐术〔驱〕”提及了旧日支配者Apep，描述为古埃及仪式。我查了怪锤没有找到这个旧日支配者，但是谷歌一下发现是古埃及的一个神明。请问这个旧日是模组里的二三设还是众多原著中存在的？请教一下，谢谢。
回答内容：① Apep 出自C社自家的扩展书 Cthulhu Invictus（《克苏鲁不败》，古罗马扩，对应6版规则）

Apep
Great Old One
The Book of Apophis warns of Apep, the Eater of Souls, who waits in the underworld beneath the western mountain Bakhu. The living, the dead, even gods—Apep hungers for them all. A serpentine beast more than 16 yards in length with a head made of flint, he blocks the underworld river with his coils, trapping those who travel upon it and hypnotizing them with his gaze. Then, while they stand still as statues, he devours them.
Those who resist Apep’s gaze find themselves fighting not only the Eater of Souls, but the earth and sky as well. The mountain quakes at Apep’s command, dropping boulders upon them, and the ground cracks and splits beneath their feet. Thunderstorms roll across the sky, turning the ground into an impassable mire if they try to run. Even warriors who fell Apep have struggled in vain; the next day the great serpent rises again, hungry and waiting beneath Bakhu.
Although Apep’s cult is small, Egyptians consider it a grave threat. While the Book of Apophis provides details about fighting Apep, including spells and rituals to banish him, another unnamed book tells how to summon him from his underground lair. Little more is known about the ritual for summoning Apep, except a warning in the Book of Apophis about “when the moon blocks the sun and day turns to night.” To date, Apep’s cult hasn’t found the book to summon him, but their members scour the known world for any trace of it. If they ever find it, the Egyptians know, they will call forth Apep and doom all humanity.
Hypnotize Attack: If Apep succeeds in a POW vs. POW roll on the Resistance Table, the victim is stunned for 1D4 rounds.

从结果来说，这些魔法进入了7版的魔法大典，但Apep并没有进入7版的怪锤。
② 关于二三设问题
Apep实际上只出现在Cthulhu Invictus的小说集里，并没有出现在那些经典克苏鲁神话题材小说之中。
不过既然Cthulhu Invictus是C社的官方出版物，那么Apep应该属于C社的官方设定。
此外，C社经常从其出版过的模组中搜罗法术加入到后续版本的法术书中，因此很难说“模组里的内容”就是“二三设”。也许，它将来会转正呢？
③ Apep和克苏鲁神话的可能关联
除了Cthulhu Invictus中的说法，Apep和克苏鲁神话还有以下可能的关联方式：
——作为Bast的宿敌登场。Bast是明确被归属到克苏鲁神话之中的埃及神明，其功绩之一就是曾经斩杀Apep。
——作为蛇人的先祖或相关神明登场。这种说法主要是因为Apep和蛇人均为蛇形，因此也可作此解。
