| This scroll calls on the good gods to cause great damage to any nearby undead or demonic creature — possibly including you! It will briefly stun monsters that are affected. |
Reading a scroll of holy word will delay and deal 3d15 + 1d10 - 1 damage to all undead and demonic targets in your line of sight. If you read this scroll and you are Undead or Demonspawn your hit points will be halved. Knowingly reading this will anger Yredelemnul.
It is a rare scroll, but this effect can also be produced through Zin's Sanctuary ability or when the Shining One blesses a weapon.
Strategy
Worshipers of evil gods that provide allies will want to be careful when reading unknown scrolls, Yredelemnul in particular. Suddenly turning your army of bone dragons, ghouls, and profane servitors against you is not a fun time.
History
Before 0.15, these scrolls also scared targets, and the good gods made these scrolls more powerful for their followers.
