Brisingr 

The third book in the Inheritance Cycle. The inpronouncable name means "fire", which is associated with the first spell that Eragon learns. However most readers have attributed it to the feeling of their brains being lit on fire due to the mind-boggling complexities of prose.
“Nasuada hoped he would soon recover. If he did not, she would ask Eragon or Angela, or perhaps the two of them together, to attend to Garven. Until such time as his condition improved, she decided that he should no longer serve as an active member of the Nighthawks; Jormundur would give him something simple to do, so she would not suffer guilt at causing his any further injury, and he might at least have the pleasure of enjoying whatever visions his contact with the elves had left him with.Bitter at her loss, and furious with herself, with the elves, and with Galbatorix and the Empire for making such a sacrifice necessary, she had difficulty maintaining a soft tongue and good manners.” Quote from Brisingr

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
