The Tome of Blasphemous Magic was an evil spellbook that could be found in the Realms circa the mid-to-late 15th century DR.[1]

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.[1]

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.[1]

Powers[]

The Tome of Blasphemous Magic allowed the reader to learn the following spells: enervating grasp, orb of black flame, and withering tendrils.[1]

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.[1]

History[]

For a time during the late 15th century, The Tome of Blasphemous Magic could be found within Ironaxe Halls.[1]
