3e SRD:Vacuous Grimoire
Vacuous Grimoire
A book of this sort is identical in appearance to a normal one on some mildly interesting topic, although a detect magic spell reveals it to have a magical aura. Any character who opens the work and reads so much as a single glyph therein must make two Will saving throws (DC 15 each). The first is to determine if 1 point of Intelligence is permanently drained. The second is to find out if 2 points of Wisdom are permanently drained. To destroy the book, a character must burn it while casting remove curse. If the grimoire is placed with other books, its appearance instantly alters to conform to the look of these other works.
