The Tome of Blasphemous Magic

The Tome of Blasphemous Magic was an evil spellbook that could be found in the Realms circa the mid-to-late 15 century DR.
==Description==
The book espoused certain profane and sacrilegious statements as if they were factual, inherent truths. It contained the specifications for warped, necromantic rituals, and maligned iterations of certain oft-used spells.
Aside from its contents, the spellbook itself was truly a gruesome sight to behold. The dual covers of pressed bone held within them pages made of soft flesh, inscribed within which were words written in the blood of innocent souls.
==Powers==
The Tome of Blasphemous Magic allowed the reader to learn the following spells: enervating grasp, orb of black flame, and withering tendrils.
Any being that read from the tome had to endure its most horrific power: the ability to destroy souls outright. Failure to withstand this effect left a reader transformed into a soulless corpse; the spirit could only be restored by means of powerful magic or an act by a diving being.
==History==
For a time during the late 15 century, The Tome of Blasphemous Magic could be found within Ironaxe Halls.
==Notable Owners==
* Arvik Zaltos, who was loaned the book by none other than Szass Tam.
