Versed/Vexed
Has wordplay with the end of the name, forming Con-Versed (communication) and Con-Vexed (curved outwards), but they have their own meanings as well (Versed as in well-versed and Vexed as in annoyed, probably from having its head stuck in a jar)

Tome/Codex
A tome is a those types of large sturdy books, something that I think meshes with 30b's more defensive nature quite well. A codex is a type of ancient historical document, one that can possibly contain forbidden knowledge that corrupts CAP 30 (like a poison), making it become a dangerous fast attacker.

Untapped/Unleashed
I want you to envision this example. Ginny Weasley gets her hands on an unassuming, blank book. She does not suspect the power lying in dormancy, untapped, in this item. Which, by the way, is incredibly durable and resists pretty much any attempt at destructing or harming it (Endurance). Now, when she dips her quill into the inkpot and starts writing... (Vile Vial). A terrible force is summoned, unleashed. A power that starts to wreak havoc and seems irresistible (Tinted Lens).
This works equally well with Light Yagami and the Death Note. Or Evy O'Connell and the Book of Dead. Or Charles Dexter Ward and the notebook of his ancestor Joseph Curwen.

Cleansed/Tainted
30i is tainted by the ink in the vial and goes berserk, 30b is cleansed of the strange ink. An interesting thing about these names is that Tainted/Cleansed sounds kind of like "Tinted Lens", which is 30i's ability.

Encrypted/Cracked
The idea is that the knowledge in the book is hidden behind a cypher in 30b, but when deciphered (cracked) causes the transformation into 30i. Whatever information was contained in the book has made 30i go insane; "cracked" also fits the unhinged aesthetic of 30i's design.

Normal/Vile
I'm envisioning this much more in the vein of Deoxys or Kyurem or Castform or Rotom or Keldeo or Darmanitan where the base form doesn't really have its own special name - only that it's the "normal" or "ordinary" or "standard" form, and then other forms have their own suffixes. Went with Normal because it is the most commonly used such official term. Vile fits due to the item and I like the alliteration.
