Once a character has begun to read, they are compelled to continue in whatever manner they began until they have finished (which takes 4d6 hours) unless they make a DC20 Wisdom save. If a character reads the book aloud, everyone within earshot must make a DC20 Wisdom save or stand fascinated until the recitation is complete.
No two readers or listeners can ever quite agree on the specific contents of the , only that it was profoundly distasteful.
If the book is read silently, only the reader suffers its effects; if the book is read aloud, all listeners suffer its effects. The effect is as follows:
*The subject's mind is twisted, and it turns evil. The chaotic/neutral/lawful component of the subject's alignment is unchanged. The subject retains whatever outlook, allegiances, and outlooks it had before, so long as they do not conflict with the new alignment. Otherwise, it acts with its new selfish, bloodthirsty, cruel outlook on all things.
This effect is permanent, and can only be removed by Remove Curse or better. For all other purposes, treat it as an enchantment spell cast by a level 20 wizard, save DC20.
