Libram of Arcane Power

A tome of arcane knowledge affiliated with a specific alignment. The effects of opening the tome depend on the class and alignment of the character.

• Libram’s alignment: Determined by rolling 1d6: 1–2: Lawful, 3–4: Neutral, 5–6: Chaotic.

• Vanishes after use: Once the book’s magical effect has occurred, it vanishes.

• Arcane casters (same alignment): May study the tome for 1 week to gain one experience level. A character can only gain this benefit once, even if another such libram is discovered.

• Arcane casters (other alignment): Suffer 5d4 damage, fall unconscious for 5d4 turns, and become unable to gain experience points unless a quest of atonement is performed.

• Other classes: Must save versus spells or become permanently insane. This insanity can only be removed by magic.
