The Book of the Dead is a unique item you retrieve from the Wizard of Yendor in his tower. It is one of the items needed for the invocation. It is a papyrus spellbook when unidentified.
Reading the Book
If the Book is cursed, nothing happens ("The runes appear scrambled. You can't read them!").[1]
If you lack either the Bell of Opening or the Candelabrum of Invocation, nothing happens ("A chill runs down your spine."), and you get a clue:[2]
- "You hear a faint chime..." (without Bell)
- "Vlad's doppelganger is amused." (without Candelabrum)
If either the Bell or Candelabrum is cursed, "The invocation fails!"/"At least one of your artifacts is cursed...".[3]
If the Bell has not been rung recently, or the Candelabrum is not fully lit, "You have a feeling that something is amiss..."/"You raised the dead!".[4]
