Book of Death

The Book of Death is one of Charlotte Aulin's spell books in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. It is a papyrus tome entombed with the dead.

==Availability and characteristics==
The Book of Death can be found at the top-left corner of the boulder room in the Forgotten City (Owl Morph or Griffon Wing required). The head of Anubis will spawn from the book with each attack, dealing Dark damage. However, since most enemies in the game are resistant to Dark, and the book's base physical ATK is only +44, it ends up being a weak weapon, as by the time it can be obtained, the player will likely already have the Tome of Arms 2 (ATK +50) or even the Tome of Arms 3 (ATK +80).
Furthermore, despite its Dark attribute, which supposedly would make it deal increased damage to Holy based enemies, the Book of Death is only slightly more effective against Amalaric Snipers if compared to the Tome of Arms 2; it will actually deal less damage to other Holy based enemies, such as Nyx and Aliorumnas (the latter to which it will deal almost no damage).
