MoogleDan: Added unknown version tag. I'm using it in 0.13 and it's a heck of a lot nicer than this page seems to believe. Anyone willing to code dive the details of the current version?

A '''Tome of Destruction''' is an unreliable evocable book which creates a wide variety of magical effects. When used, it opens to a page with randomly colored text or code, and asks you to confirm that you wish to read the book. Saying yes causes one of the following effects to occur:
*(14%) A [[cloud]] of harmless smoke centered on you is created.
*(4%) As above, but poison.
*(5%) As above, but cold.
*(7%) You are engulfed in a fiery explosion. The Tome of Destruction may be destroyed (20% chance).
*(3%) A hostile small [[abomination]] is summoned.
*67% You cast a random spell.

In the event a spell is cast, it is chosen by rolling 1d23 + 1d(Evocation/3):
*2: [[Magic Dart]]
*3: [[Throw Frost]]
*4: [[Throw Flame]]
*5: [[Mephitic Cloud]]
*6: [[Polymorph Other]]
*7: [[Cigotuvi's Degeneration]]
*8: [[Teleport Self]]
*9: [[Sticky Flame]]
*10: [[Bolt of Inaccuracy]]
*11: [[Bolt of Draining]]
*12: [[Venom Bolt]]
*13-18: [[Fireball]]
*19-20: [[Lightning Bolt]]
*21-23: [[Bolt of Cold]]
*24-26: [[Bolt of Fire]]
*27+: [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]]

The spell's power (used mainly to determine accuracy and damage) is equal to 5 + Evocations + 5d(Evocations). The Tome of Destruction cannot be read while [[silence]]d, and the Blurry Vision [[mutation]] gives you a 25% chance of failure per rank. Unidentified, it displays as an "ancient heavily glowing book."

==Strategy==
If you are poison resistant, fire/cold resistant, can handle an abomination or two, and don't mind losing a few potions, the tome of Destruction can provide a decent ranged attack. Of course, if you meet all those conditions, you probably have a few ranged attacks already. The only characters who might find this useful are [[Xom]]'s playthings, as the mad god is very amused by any explosions or hostile abominations the book may accidentally summon.
