 ==Strategy==
 *Similar to a [[scroll of torment]], reading this scroll as a [[Demonspawn]] or while [[undead]] will halve your hit points, but unlike its effect upon undead or demonic monsters, it will never kill the player outright.
 *Much like scrolls of torment, scrolls of holy word are largely situational. They can be useful in undead/demon-heavy branches like [[Crypt]], [[Tomb]], the [[Hell]]s, or [[Pandemonium]], but are otherwise more likely to be taking up space in your inventory.
-*While their damage output is somewhat mediocre in the late-game areas where they are most useful, the fact that scrolls of holy word can daze opponents and (unlike scrolls of torment) cause no backlash damage to most species help make up for that lack.
+**Regardless of how many runes you'll be getting, the fact that demons and [[pandemonium lord]]s spawn in the [[orb run]] always gives some value to holy word.
